Karwar (Karnataka)

Kunafa is an Arabic dish prepared for the month of Ramadan.
This dessert represents everything that is there in an attractive woman.
The crisp texture from the outside is like women who play hard to get, then comes the soft texture of cream beneath tht layer, which represents the softnessof a women's heart & nature.
Later comes syrup, poured on the top & they say tht it is the sweet words women say whn in love. U must be wondering about the pistachios, tht is the makeup women wear to enhance their beauty.
This post is dedicated to the beautiful women, who managed to survive me & luv me the way i am, nt only my mom bt are also my friends,and i luv them so much.
Thank u fr being in my life!
