Step:

  1. Boil the water with the salt in a pot. 

  2. When it starts to boil slowly add the semolina while stirring with a wooden spoon. Stir until you get a mixture like a cream that is not too thick neither too thin.

  3. Pour the mixture in a tray and let it rest for about 12 hours. 

  4. Score the sweet as you would score baklava. 

  5. Pour plenty of oil in a frying pan and fry each piece one by one. 

  6. As soon as they are golden brown remove from the frying pan and dust with plenty of sugar and cinnamon.

  1. 3 l water 
  2. 1 kg semolina
