- Many consider Kunafa to be the king of sweets in Arabian cuisine. The Kunafa dessert is indeed an obligatory delicacy during the month of Ramadan, particularly in diverse Arab nations. The origins of kunafa are hotly debated among countries, particularly Egypt, Palestine, and Turkey.
- Many people also argues that the origins of this exquisite delicacy may be traced back to the city of Nablus in West Bank, Palestine. Nablusi Kunafa is a cheesy, sticky dessert wrapped in crispy browned shredded filo pastry and sprinkled with sugar syrup.
- The Guinness World Record for the biggest Kunafa ever built is held by this city. Kunafa has been subjected to experimentation in recent years, with mango, Nutella, custard, crème brule, and even red velvet added to the cheese. All of these kunafa varieties have shown to be increasingly tasty.
- The original kunafa nabulsieh is also called as ‘Kunafa khishne,’ which translates as coarse kunafa, due to the fragmented dough not being too finely crushed and being crispy in the oven. The dough is finely shredded, giving it a softer top, but the components are practically the same.
- Kunafa Nabulsiyeh makes use of a white-brine cheese known as Nabulsi cheese. It’s stretched out in a wide circular shallow dish, and the pastry is colored orange with food coloring before being topped with sugar syrup and crushed pistachio nuts.
