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.
Combine the dry ingredients, then gradually add the listed fat, eggs, or liquids.
Mix only until a uniform dough or batter forms, then shape the pieces.
Bake in a preheated oven or fry according to the listed cooking method until golden.
Cool and finish with powdered sugar, nuts, or syrup as appropriate.
Cook's notes
Use steady heat and continuous stirring so the wheat-sprout mixture and sugar do not scorch. Add the nuts near the end so they do not become over-toasted.
Background
Sohan is one of Qom's most important edible souvenirs and is closely connected with pilgrimage travel and the city's culture of gift and souvenir purchasing.
