These fried semolina pastries often come hand-in-hand with Loukmades (honey donuts) as they tend to be made by the same vendors, mainly at traditional festivals and fairs.

The dough pockets are filled with a cooked sweet semolina paste, fried to perfection then dusted with icing sugar and cinnamon. As with most recipes, there are variations with some also adding mastic and orange blossom water to the semolina filling.
