Critical Success Points

  • Keeping filo pastry moist with a damp cloth.
  • Brushing butter evenly on each filo layer.
  • Ensuring kofta mixture is not over‑mixed.
  • Marinating quail in pomegranate molasses for at least 30 minutes.
  • Baking baklava to a deep golden colour before adding syrup.
  • Pouring hot syrup over baklava immediately after baking.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle raw quail and lamb with separate cutting boards to avoid cross‑contamination.
  • Hot oil can splatter; keep a lid nearby.
  • Baklava syrup is extremely hot; avoid burns.
