TulumbaorBamiyeh (Persian: بامیه) is a deep-fried dessert found in Iran and the regional cuisines of the former Ottoman Empire. It is a fried batter soaked in syrup, similar to jalebis and churros. It is made from unleavened dough lump (about 3 cm long) given a small ovoid shape with ridges along it using a pastry bagorcookie press with a suitable end piece. It is first deep-fried to golden colour and then sugar-sweet syrup is poured over it when still hot. It is eaten cold.
Tulumba literally means 'pump' in Turkish from Italian: tromba. The dessert is called pombainCypriot Greek and bombacıkinCypriot Turkish. In Armenian cuisine it may be called either pomportulumba (Armenian: թուլումբա). Tulumba features in Albanian, Serbian, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Greek (Greek: τουλούμπα), Azeri (Azerbaijani: Ballıbadı) and Turkish cuisines. The sweet is also found in Persian cuisineasbamiyeh (Persian: باميه). In Hejazi it is called ṭurumba (Arabic: طُرُمْبَة) directly from Italian: tromba, but in Egyptian and some Arab cuisines it is called balaḥ ash-Shām (Arabic: بلح الشام), literally "Syrian dates" or "Damascene dates," though the name may have come from "şambali", another Turkish dessert (the『Şam』in『şambali』corresponding to『Shām』in『balaḥ ash-Shām』and both referring to Damascus). In Iraqi cuisine it is known as datli (Arabic: داطلي), directly coming from Turkish word "tatlı" .
It is made from a yogurt[citation needed] and starch based dough, which is fried before being dipped in syrup. It is a special sweet often enjoyed at IftarinRamadan.[1] It is also commonly served with its counterpart, the jalebi, which is prepared the same way, but the only difference is that it has a web-like arrangement consisting of strips of dough.
