Zalabiyeh

Zalabiyeh is a fritter or doughnut found in cuisines across the Arab world, West Asia and parts of Europe historically influenced by them. It is made from a semi-thin batter of wheat flour poured into hot oil and deep fried, with the earliest known recipe recorded in a 10th-century Arabic cookbook, where the batter was poured through a coconut shell. It differs from lokma in being made from batter rather than yeast dough, though the two names are sometimes used interchangeably.
