Agave syrup has a lower glycemic index.

Prepare 6 pakistani mangoes by peeling and chopping them into cubes, yielding about 700 grams of mango cubes and 100 grams of mango pulp.

Make a sugar syrup by combining 375 grams of sugar, 225 milliliters of water, and 3/4 tablespoon of lemon juice in a pot and bringing it to a boil.

Add in 75-100 grams of mango pulp to the syrup and let it simmer for 15 minutes.

Stir in 1.5 teaspoons of vanilla essence and simmer for an additional minute before straining the syrup through a fine mesh sieve.

Melt 250 grams of butter in a pot, allowing it to separate into clarified butter and milk solids, discarding the solids.

Use a 10-inch circular baking dish and brush it liberally with clarified butter.

Cut 400 grams of phyllo pastry into circular sheets to fit the baking dish.

Layer the phyllo sheets in the dish, brushing each layer with clarified butter, aiming for about 12 layers.

Pre-cut the top layer of pastry into slices without cutting all the way through.

Preheat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius (320 degrees Fahrenheit) with the fan on.

Bake the baklava for 25 to 30 minutes until golden and puffed.

Pour 75 milliliters of the mango syrup over the hot baklava.
