Gosh-e fil (Persian: گُوش فيل, lit. '"elephant's ear"'[1]) is a fried pastry from Afghanistan. The dough is shaped like an elephant ear (goosh), and deep-fried in oil. Each piece is then topped with chopped pistachios and powdered sugar.
This sweet is mainly served with tea, especially during Nowruz and other festivals.[2]
The dough is made by whisking eggs, milk and butter, then adding the mixture to the dry ingredients.[3]
