Gosh-e fil (Persian: گُوش فيل; "elephant's ear"[1] ) is a fried pastry from Afghanistan. The dough is shaped like an elephant ear (goosh), and deep-fried in oil. Each piece is then topped with chopped pistachios and powdered sugar.
This sweet is mainly served with tea, especially during Nowruz. [2]
The dough is made by whisking eggs, milk and butter, then adding the mixture to the dry ingredients.[3]
Gosh-e fil and doogh
[edit ]The city of Isfahan, located in Iran, as well as the city of Mazar-i-Sharif are some of the prominent cities of Iran and Afghanistan known for their delicious sweets,[citation needed ] in which gosh-e fil is eaten with a combination of local doogh (a combination of water and sour yogurt). This combination has long been rooted in the food culture of the local people and continues to this day. [4] [5]
