    I am not sure their is a gluten free substitute for kataifi…at least not
    to my knowledge. Thank you…I appreciate your comment on the food looking
    good. I actually do give several recipes on my website, cookingwithkamal
    and I also give several recipes on YouTube. The rest of the recipes can be
    found in my cook book…and many of the recipes are gluten free.

    make cream???Which you have used in this recipe.

  10. SuperShames

    your videos are wonderful. Would you please demonstrate how to make
    3osmaleeyeh? thanks

  11. ChefKamal1

    You are welcome…I would definitely suggest trying it without the orange
    blossom…and if you do want to put a bit…use about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon in
    the cream filling. Good luck!

    Thank you…I appreciate your comments. We are about to start new videos
    this fall and will certaily add your request to the list. I know it as
    Kneifi bi jibni – and yes, I can show you how to use semolina flour. In my
    cookbook on page 191, I have a recipe for mafrouki (I have given it an
    english title of kataifi and cream nut pie). Have a great summer. Best

    Thank you. The procedure for Ismalliyeh is the same as the kneifi. The main
    difference is that you want to cut the kataifi dough into 2 inch peices,
    then mix them with the butter – the rest of the process is the same. Good
    luck!

    Hi, This looks good. I Have a couple of questions regarding this recipe. 1)
    If i need to use the whole package of Kataifi, How much butter shall i use
    ?? 2) What Temperature did you bake it with ?? and for how long ?? ( Was
    not too clear) 3) Preparing the Ishta ( Creme) Any problem or preference
    using Half and half with white bread ?? Thanks

  15. SuperShames

    your videos are wonderful. Would you please show how to make 3osmaleyeh.
    Thanks

  16. Umm-e- Ismu

    hey, i tried your recipe…turned out great the very first time! thanks! I
    put orange blossom water in the dough though….although i think i put a
    bit too much (around 1.5 tbsp)… next time i’ll try w/out the blossom
    water. Anyway, thanks once again for a recipe i’d been searching for, for
    ages. 🙂
