Turkish Tulumba Recipe
Tulumba is a Turkish dessert made from fried dough pieces, similar to the Western version of the Indian Diwali treat, Shakar Para. These crispy delights are soaked in a luscious lemon-sugar syrup (Chashni) infused with rose, creating a sweet, syrupy treat. A beloved classic and popular street food, Tulumba is often served warm by street vendors who fry it fresh on the spot, though it can also be found in many restaurants. Enjoy this light and ultra-sweet dessert as a post-dinner treat or a delightful snack.
