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 unique shape, which resembles an elephant's ear.
History[edit | edit source]
The exact origins of Gosh-e Fil are unknown, but it is believed to have been developed in the Persian Empire, where sweet pastries were a common part of the culinary tradition. The pastry is often associated with the city of Isfahan, which is known for its rich food culture.
Preparation[edit | edit source]
Gosh-e Fil is made from a dough of flour, water, sugar, and yeast. The dough is rolled out thinly and then folded into a shape that resembles an elephant's ear. It is then deep-fried until it becomes crispy and golden brown. The pastry is typically served dusted with powdered sugar and can be enjoyed with a cup of Persian tea.
Cultural Significance[edit | edit source]
In Iran, Gosh-e Fil is often served during special occasions and celebrations such as Nowruz, the Persian New Year. It is also a popular street food and can be found in bakeries and sweet shops across the country.
