Reshteh khoshkar

Reshteh Khoshkar is a cherished traditional cookie, particularly popular during Ramadan in Iran's Gilan Province. Made from rice flour, this delightful treat boasts a delectable filling of sugar, ground walnuts or hazelnuts, and an aromatic blend of cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, and other spices.

The preparation begins with creating a rice flour batter, which is poured into a special container with multiple holes. This allows the batter to flow onto a hot skillet, forming a thin, intricately patterned sheet of rice pastry. A generous spoonful of the sweet and nutty filling is then placed in the center of the pastry. The pastry is folded over the filling and fried to golden perfection in hot oil.

Reshteh Khoshkar is more than just a cookie; it's a festive treat that brings joy and flavor to the Ramadan season.
