Malsouka
Malsouka is a pastry. It is plant-derived, so it rules out no diet on its own.
Also known asFeuille de brick · France
Not the same asWarqa (Morocco's equivalent hand-cooked pastry, made the same way but from a softer flour-only batter rather than malsouka's semolina-and-flour one. Warqa tears more easily and is built up in the many stacked layers pastilla needs, where malsouka is used as a single robust sheet strong enough to fold around a whole egg without splitting.)Filo pastry (Filo is rolled and stretched by hand or machine in layered, oiled sheets. Malsouka is a single unlayered sheet formed by dabbing wet dough onto a hot plate and peeling it off once set, which gives it a coarser, more elastic texture that survives deep-frying without shattering the way filo would.)

USDA FDC SR Legacy record 172791. USDA publishes no record for malsouka or its semolina-and-flour batter. This is its record for phyllo dough, the nearest thin, unleavened wheat pastry it carries; both are plain wheat doughs rolled or cooked out to a fraction of a millimetre with no added fat, and their nutrition panels are a reasonable match at the resolution this site reports.
