The sweet is also found in Iranian cuisine as bamiyeh, and in Egypt, as balah ash-sham (Arabic: بلح الشام), while it is called in Iraq as Datli (Arabic: داطلي). In the Arab world, it is called asabe Zainab (Zainab's fingers), and it is customarily consumed during Ramadan.
It is made from unleavened dough lump (about 3 cm long) given a small ovoid shape with ridges along it using an 'icing' bag with a special nozzle. It is first deep-fried to golden colour and then sugar-sweet syrup is poured over it when still hot. It is eaten cold.
