About Persian donut

Persian Donut, known locally as Zoolbia Bamieh, is a traditional pastry originating from Persian cuisine. This sweet treat is typically made from a simple batter of flour, yogurt, and cornstarch, infused with rose water or saffron for a delicate, aromatic flavor. After being piped into intricate spiral shapes, it’s deep-fried until crisp and golden, then soaked in a syrup made of sugar, water, and lemon juice. While irresistibly delicious, Persian Donuts are high in sugar and fats, making them an indulgent dessert rather than a health-focused option. They provide quick energy through carbohydrates but lack significant nutrient density. Their captivating taste and cultural significance make them popular during festive moments, such as Ramadan. Moderation is key to enjoying this sugary delight as part of a balanced diet.
