Nusret Baklawa

Nusret baklawa is basically a specialty served in the nusret steakhouse restaurant in istanbul, thats y the name . The baklawa has now become quite popular in india as well . This form of baklawa is made just with chopped pistachios , but here ive used mixed nuts . You can use your choice of nuts .

You need baklawa sheet or filo sheet for this, any other substitute like samosa or spring roll sheet will not work.

Firstly prepare sugar syrup with 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water . Cook it for 5-7 minutes.

In a pan melt 200 gms of butter and half cup of oil on low heat , switch of heat once melted , we dont want the butter to burn. Keep aside.

Chop a fist each of cashew , almond , walnut and pistachios, ( i have used a mix u can use ur choice or even just pistachios) also ive simply chopperised it in my processor.

Cut your filo sheets to the size of your tray or mould im using a cheesecake mould . ( we will use the extra filo that is cut off in between , nothing will be wasted)
Start by brushing the tray with the melted butter , put 1 layer of filo , brush butter again generously and repeat the process with 12-13sheets ( use all the leftover filo also ) sprinkle the chopped nuts and follow the same process again with 12-13 sheetsby layering filo sheet and applying butter .

Cut into triangles and brush butter generously specially between cuts Bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees for around 45 minutes or till golden . Remove from the oven and immidiately pour sugar syrup as much as u need . Let it rest for sometime ( i prefer eating after 10 mins garma garam , u can also let the syrup absorb well and eat after an hour)

To serve open the baklawa from the centre and stuff with vanila icecream and a sprinkle of some extra nuts . Sandwich back the top of the baklawa and serve immediately . Get ready to enter turkish heaven🤤
