Knafeh Dough

Knafeh dough usually comes in three types:

• khishneh (Arabic خشنه) "rough", consisting of kadaif pastry, which looks like long thin noodle threads.
• na'ama (Arabic ناعمة) "fine", consisting of small pieces of semolina clustered together.
• mhayara (ِِArabic محيرة): which is a mixture of both khishneh and naa'ama.
