Hello everybody.

Yesterday I did this kind of famous Arabic dessert for the fist time, always thought it’s a difficult messy recipe but actually it’s not at all, got the recipe from a lovely friend which explained it in a very clear easy way.

Ingredients and method:

  • 1 cup fine semolina.
  • 1 cup milk.
  • 1 cup sugar.
  • 1/2 kg mozzarella cheese.
  • 2 tablespoons rose water.
  • 1/2 tsp crushed mistika.
  • 2 cups fresh cream.
  • 1 cup syrup.
  • crushed pistachios for garnish.

* Mix semolina,milk and sugar very well.

*Heat till it thickens then add rose water and mistaka.

*lower heat then gradually start adding the cheese and whisk all together till you get a smooth homogeneous .

*spread half of the syrup on your kitchen surface then spread the dough evenly over it till you get a big triangle.

*add  a line of cream on the edge then roll one time till you get a cylindrical shape.

*cut with a sharp knife to even pieces and line them in a plate.

*repeat till all dough is done.

*garnish with pistachios then leave in fridge to cool.
