Here's a simple Kunafa (Knafeh) recipe:
Ingredients
For the Kunafa
250 g kataifi (kunafa) pastry
100 g melted butter
200 g mozzarella cheese (or a mix of mozzarella and ricotta)
2 tbsp crushed pistachios (for garnish)
For the Sugar Syrup
1 cup sugar
½ cup water
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp rose water or orange blossom water (optional)
Method
Make the syrup: Boil the sugar and water for 8–10 minutes. Add lemon juice and rose water. Let it cool.
Prepare the pastry: Shred the kataifi pastry into small pieces and mix thoroughly with the melted butter.
Assemble: Grease a pan. Press half the buttered pastry into the bottom. Spread the mozzarella evenly. Cover with the remaining pastry and press gently.
Cook: Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 30–40 minutes, or cook on low heat in a non-stick pan, flipping once, until both sides are golden brown.
Finish: Pour the cooled sugar syrup over the hot kunafa immediately after cooking.
Garnish: Sprinkle with crushed pistachios and serve warm while the cheese is still stretchy.
