  1. mix ingredients well with wooden spoon.
  2. grease pan with 2 tabl. of taheena (sesame paste). Or you may grease with oil.
  3. Pour mixture in pan and spread evenly.
  4. Sprinkle w/ almonds
  5. Cut into serving pieces before putting in oven. Middle rack 30-40 min.
  6. Broil to get that golden color.
