Zalabia, a beloved sweet in Syrian cuisine, is often enjoyed during festive occasions and gatherings. Its origins trace back to Middle Eastern culinary traditions, where fried dough is a common treat.

Cover the bowl with a cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat until shimmering.

Serve zalabia warm, drizzled with cream kishta and garnished with pistachios.
