Tulumba is a Turkish dessert which is one of the most eaten sweets in Turkey and I must share it with you! Let me start with its name. Tulumba means pump, but I dont have any idea why this popular Turkish dessert is called with this name. It could be because of the method it is made. It is squeezed through a piping bag with a star nozzle, you know we have water through force pumps with some effort. Just a guess! It is just another Turkish dessert with a weird name! Nobody cares the name of this Turkish dessert, tulumba here! We even forget the first meaning of its name, so when someone is talking about tulumba, its mostly about the dessert, not the pump. Tulumba is one of the cheapest desserts here, so everyone can buy it at any time. When people have occasions like weddings or islamic memorial ceremonies aka mevlit, they prefer to serve tulumba to their large group of guests. It is generally served on a plastic plate with some toothpicks so you dont use fork, but you eat tulumbas with a toothpick. This is of course something for large occasions. We definitely have it with a fork or we just enjoy it with our fingers when we have it at home!

Turkish dessert tulumba is a kind of fried dough soaked into syrup. Its dough is very similar to profiteroles. The best tulumba is the fresh one, it must be crunchy outside and soft inside and when you bite it, you must feel the syrup absorbed inside. Tulumba is such a popular Turkish dessert that you can find it both in high class patisseries and in small shops. An important tip for making Turkish dessert tulumba is that you should throw them into cold oil, wait it to rise and then rise the heat slowly. You shouldnt fry them in hot oil! Otherwise, inner side of them is not well cooked. Also, when cooking the dough, mix the flour mixture fast like we do when making flour halvah.

There is a shop nearby and they just make tulumba, no other Turkish desserts, so they are very good at their job. When we want to serve tulumba to our guests, we buy it from this shop, so I dont prefer making it at home. I got the recipe from them though, so that I can share it with you!

Reply edit Zerrin March 8, 2013 at 8:25 pm That frying method was new to me too! I was surprised when the man in tulumba shop told me to start to fry them in cold oil. Then he explained that it is the most important tip for making tulumba dessert right way. Reply edit lisaiscooking March 8, 2013 at 4:55 pm I want to taste this lovely dessert! The syrup coating sounds delicious. Reply edit Zerrin March 8, 2013 at 8:22 pm Hi Lisa! Nice to see you here again! This dessert is definitely addictive!

Zerrin March 12, 2013 at 11:46 pm Thank you Stacy! You have fantastic recipes on your blog too! Your panda cookies definitely rock! Reply edit Nisha April 16, 2013 at 10:04 am Saw your beautiful pictures on Pinterest and arrived here on your blog for the first time today. Im wondering how you achieved the yellow color was it because of the eggs? Reply edit Zerrin April 16, 2013 at 11:29 am Hi Nisha, thanks for visiting! The yellow color comes from deep frying. When dough is fried, it gets that yellow:) Reply edit Leave a Comment Name * Email * Website
