K is a traditional Middle Eastern dessert that is prepared and consumed in most of the former parts of the Ottoman Empire, such as Turkey or Egypt.
This dessert is made from thin stringy dough or very thin semolina dough soaked in sweet syrup with a sugar base and layers of cheese or other ingredients such as clotted cream or nuts, depending on the region.
This dessert is very popular in the Arab world, especially in the Levant and Egypt, and especially among Palestinians.
In addition, other types of this dessert are prepared in Turkey, Greece, the Balkans and the Caucasus
