1/3 cup blanched almonds
Rosewater syrup

4. Pour over hot slice in pan. Cool slice in pan. Cut into diamond shapes. Serve.
Notes
Coarse semolina is required to get the right slice texture. You can find it in health food stores. If rosewater is unavailable, you could use teaspoon rosewater essence.
