Introduction
A delicious fusion dessert that combines the rich flavor of traditional Indian Motichoor Ladoo with the crispy, flaky texture of Middle Eastern Baklava. Layered with butter and pistachios, then finished with a sweet sugar-honey syrup, it's a perfect treat for festive celebrations like Rakhi.
Step 1
In a saucepan on the stove, add water, sugar, honey, and lemon. Bring it to a boil and cook until the sugar dissolves completely and the syrup thickens slightly. Once done, set it aside to cool down.
Step 2
Carefully unroll the phyllo sheets. Take out one sheet to work with, and immediately cover the remaining sheets with a damp cloth or plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out.
Step 3
Brush melted butter over half of the phyllo sheet. Crumble the motichoor ladoo and scatter them evenly over the buttered half of the sheet, then sprinkle chopped pistachios on top.
Step 4
Fold the dry half of the phyllo sheet over the filled half. Brush the top with more melted butter, and layer it with another light scattering of crumbled ladoo and pistachios.
Step 5
Place two wooden skewers along the edge of the sheet and gently roll the pastry. Avoid rolling it too tightly.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Phyllo sheets dry out very quickly; always keep the unused sheets covered with a damp cloth while working.
Do not roll the phyllo sheets too tightly, or the layers won't cook evenly and might stay doughy inside.
Always pour cooled syrup over hot baklava (or hot syrup over cooled baklava) to ensure it stays crispy rather than soggy.
Allow the baklava to cool completely before serving as the flavors and crispiness develop as it cools.
