khagineh

the simplest and most basic Persian sweet omelette from beautiful Tabriz

In Iran household gas ovens have only been around for the past 50 years, which is why a lot of traditional Persian desserts don’t call for them. This is one of the simplest stovetop Persian desserts. Fried in oil and dunked in syrup.

• 5 eggs
• 75 gr (5 tbsp) flour
• 75 gr (5 tbsp) yogurt
• 200 gr (1 cups) sugar
• 4 gr (1 tsp) baking powder
• some oil to fry

preparation

• select the right bowl to make a simple batter
• leaving the sugar and oil aside, mix all the ingredients and mix well
• pick a suitable frying pan and pour some oil in
• after the oil heats up, lower the heat
• pour 2 spoonfuls of the batter and fry on both sides

preparation of the syrup

• bring to a boil the sugar with 250ml (half a cup) of water for 5 minutes or until the syrup is slightly thickened
• pour the hot syrup over the fried khagineh
• serve with tea if desired
