Gosh-e fil
Gosh-e fil (also known as Elephant's Ear) is a type of Persian pastry that is popular in Iran and neighboring countries. The pastry gets its name from its distinctive shape, which resembles an elephant's ear.
History[edit | edit source]
The exact origins of Gosh-e fil are unclear, but it is believed to have been developed in the Persian Empire, where sweet pastries were a popular part of the cuisine. The pastry is traditionally made during the Persian New Year as a celebratory treat.
Preparation[edit | edit source]
Gosh-e fil is made by folding a thin sheet of yeast dough over a filling of sugar and cardamom. The dough is then deep-fried until it puffs up and becomes golden brown. The finished pastry is often dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with a sweet syrup.
Cultural Significance[edit | edit source]
In Iran, Gosh-e fil is often served at special occasions such as weddings and New Year celebrations. It is also a popular treat to enjoy with a cup of tea in the afternoon.
