In a bowl, mix almonds, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and add rose water a little at a time.

Mix with your hands until you obtain a nice paste and set aside.

Take a small amount of katai fish ready dough and loosen it by gently pulling strands with both hands, working in opposite directions.

Place the dough in a cupcake pan and shape it into a nest.

Brush the nest with melted butter.

Add one tablespoon of the almond filling for each nest and press it down to form the inside of the nest.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 25 to 30 minutes or until golden.

Immediately dip the nests in sugar syrup.
