Kataif- Cheese/ Arabic Pancakes with Cheese

11:27 Niloufer Riyaz 19 Comments

Kataif is a type of Arabic Pancake which is cooked on one side stuffed with cheese or nuts, deep fried n soaked in sugar syrup n served. They can also be stuffed with cream n served with sugar syrup, known as Kataif bil Kashta. These pancakes can be made at home and as told cooked only on one side so that they can be stuffed n pinch them well to keep the stuff intact. Since living in Gulf Kataif is easily available in supermarkets n I made them with these ready made ones. For Calorie conscious ones you can bake them n drizzle with syrup and nuts. To make the kataifs at home look in to Arabic Food Blogspot and find the recipe
here. This is an amazing blogspot were you can find a whole lot of Arabic recipes.
Today I made kataif with two types of cheese, Akawi n Mozerella Cheese. They have to be had hot to enjoy the complete taste. Sending them to AWED- KSA guest hosted here event by DK



You need:
Kataif                                      12 pieces
Akawi Cheese(shredded)        6tbsp
Fresh Mozerella (shredded)     6tbsp
Oil to fry



Sugar                                       1/2cup
Water                                       1/2cup
Rose water                               1/2tbsp



Preparation:

Now take a piece of kataif and on the uncooked side place a tbsp of cheese n close them n pinch the corners well to seal the stuffing inside.Continue with the rest stuffing 6 with akawi n 6 with mozerella
Heat oil n deep fry them, Once  fried put them in sugar syrup for a minute, take them out n serve immediately
