Indian baklava
Description
Here is a simple recipe for Indian-style baklava. First, prepare the baklava dough; while it is "resting," you can make the syrup. Shape the dough into baklava pieces and fry them on a hot skillet. Then cool them and dip into the syrup. Serve baklava sprinkled with nuts or sesame seeds. Good luck!

Step 5
Now fry the baklava in vegetable oil over medium heat. Pour in plenty of oil—at least a finger's height in the pan. Fry on all sides until evenly golden brown. Then place the baklava on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
