Gosh-e fil

Gosh-e fil (Persian: گُوش فيل; "elephant's ear") is a fried pastry from Afghanistan. The dough is shaped like an elephant ear (goosh), and deep-fried in oil. Each piece is then topped with chopped pistachios and powdered sugar.

This sweet is mainly served with tea, especially during Nowruz.

The dough is made by whisking eggs, milk and butter, then adding the mixture to the dry ingredients.

The city of Isfahan, located in Iran, as well as the city of Mazar-i-Sharif are some of the prominent cities of Iran and Afghanistan known for their delicious sweets,[citation needed] in which gosh-e fil is eaten with a combination of local doogh (a combination of water and sour yogurt). This combination has long been rooted in the food culture of the local people and continues to this day.
