How this kind of dish is made

The source documents this dish but not a method specific to it. The steps below describe how dishes of this kind are generally made.

  1. Mix the batter or dough until smooth.

  2. Shape the pieces or pipe the batter into hot oil and fry until golden.

  3. Dip the hot sweets briefly in saffron-rosewater syrup.

  4. Drain on a rack before serving.

Cook's notes

Let the cooked dough cool slightly before adding eggs so they do not scramble. Fry bamieh over medium heat so the center cooks through before the outside gets too dark.

Background
