A rich mixture of walnuts, figs, apricots, dates, honey and cinnamon is filled into rectangular samosa patti strips and sealed with a cornflour paste and deep-fried. Drizzle generously with honey and serve these sticky baklavas hot!

World famous dessert from middle eastern countries. Each country in this region has its own recipe for baklava. There are many combinations and variations for this sinfully calorie laden dessert. Samosa pattis have been used instead of the filo pastry as the latter is not easily available in india.

This is a quick version of the traditional Lebanese sweet, which is made with layers of phylo pastry and dry fruits. Traditionally this is a baked dessert but I have made a deep-fried version that is just as delicious.
