I love the jazzy soundtrack.

I love basbousa! I sprinkle a healthy amount of orange zest on the batter before baking..gives it a refreshingly awesome flavor.....and use cashews instead of almonds sometimes.

[@Gianemakeup]

Thank you for making it easy to follow.

I did this recipe few months ago it turned out amazing!!!!

[@arjunmomvlog6105]

Nice sweet recipe

[@sarastar3641]

Thank you. I love this from the Turkish deli's. I'm going to try it. But I need to get Tahina

[@NaClSalt]

Sara Star Hi Sara, you can replace the Tahini by buttering or lightly oiling the pan then lightly flour it. Make sure you rest it for at least 5 hours otherwise it won't bake well. Hope it works out for you!

What a perfectly put together video..thanks so much..did you use 13 by 9 inch pan?

[@NaClSalt]

Yes I did! Thanks for your comment.

Hello I made it with coarse semolina, however it didnt turn out like this. It was very hard on the top and soft at the bottom. Please suggest me any tips please thanks

[@NaClSalt]

Hello, you do have to use coarse and fine semolina. Coarse semolina alone may have caused this to happen. I hope this helps!

[@bismaabrar1147]

Can I skip Tha tahini past

[@Dana-cb7vk]

Namoura is so good! Thanks for the recipe! Though the kind I ate had a slight lemon hint to it. Is that from a variance of the sugar syrup maybe- or is it from the tahini? Curious.

[@NaClSalt]

That would be from the sugar syrup because it uses lemon in it. But that just means there was a bit too much lemon juice. :)

When u say a cup can u please tell how much ml u mean is in the cup?

[@gigidea]

Hello! I love namoura but when I made it, it divided into two pieces. What am I doing wrong?

[@NaClSalt]

gigidea did you rest it for at least 5 hours before baking it? That is very important. If you did then maybe you put too much coarse semolina.

[@monelleny]

Looks great, but curious ... why let it sit for 5 hours? What does that do?

[@NaClSalt]

The semolina soaks up the liquid and doesn't fall apart after it's baked

[@j.r.a5387]

I'll let ya know

[@kikiclay3033]

How do you make the sugar syrup?

[@NaClSalt]

KIKI EATS 2 cups water 4 cups sugar 1 tablespoon lemon juice 🍋. Boil for 10-15 minutes. Then keep in the fridge until it’s cold.

[@rosaalcala5914]

Sugar sirup should have blosom water?

[@NaClSalt]

Yes it adds a good flavour but not required :)

[@quantanglement]

@@NaClSalt orange or rose!

How do I store it?

[@NaClSalt]

Leave it in the fridge if it lasts that long ;)

[@victoriakeitel8861]

I’ve made countless versions and still looking for the best one! Is this one the dense chewy version?

[@ericaheather7230]

I recommend Cleobuttera's recipe for Basbousa. cleobuttera.com/middle-eastern/best-ever-pastry-shop-style-basbousa/ It's the dense and fudgy kind, absolutely exquisite.

[@jaseelafaizal1558]

Wat is the measurement of sugar syrup used in millilitre

[@NaClSalt]

750 ml water, 1500 ml sugar (so 3 cups water, 6 cups sugar) sounds like a lot but that will yield 3 cups sugar syrup. and about a tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice

[@koredeafolabi7501]

Thanks a lot for the recipe and procedure. Can I make the sugar syrup?

[@NaClSalt]

You're very welcome. Yes for the sugar syrup boil 2 cups water, 1 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon lemon juice for 10-12 minutes. Put in fridge and cool completely.

[@koredeafolabi7501]

Angie A Thank you

[@koredeafolabi7501]

Angie A how much rose water should be added to the sugar syrup?

[@NaClSalt]

@@koredeafolabi7501 1 tablespoon is good enough!

[@koredeafolabi7501]

Angie A can the fine semolina flour be substituted with another flour?

[@questingwolf]

Veg oil instead of butter okay to use?

[@NaClSalt]

Haven't tried it, but I don't see why not.

[@questingwolf]

@@NaClSalt thank you. I will try it and report back:)

Why does it need to rest for so long?

[@veryouhiekourkounian2524]

Hola sémola gruesa o fina

[@Laviraja24]

Is it necessary to use fine semolina as well or just coarse should be fine?

[@NaClSalt]

Lavina Sonam Wadhwani you should use both. Coarse alone will not work well. If you cant find or don’t have fine semolina replace it with all purpose flour

[@Laviraja24]

@@NaClSalt perfect thankyou so much😊 all purpose flour should be same quantity right as fine semolina?
