Gosh i Fil- Elephant's Ear
Most of us eat these at the fair but it is also an Afghanistan dessert sometimes served at a dastarkhan, literally 'tablecloth', the enormous meal served to family and guests on special occasions. The American version usually does not have cardamom and pistachio as part of the ingredient list.
