Zalabya is not just found in the Arab world. It\u2019s usually believed that it\u2019s originally an Indian or Iranian sweet. It\u2019s typically deep fried and is known for \u0645\u0639\u0631\u0648\u0641\u0629 \u0628\u0640<\/strong> its very sweets taste \u0645\u0630\u0627\u0642\u0647\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u062d\u0644\u0648 \u0643\u062b\u064a\u0631\u064b\u0627 <\/strong>\u00a0and crunchy texture \u0642\u0648\u0627\u0645\u0647\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u064f\u0642\u0631\u0645\u0634<\/strong>. It\u2019s typically available in orange but I remember I saw some red\/dark pink ones sold in some shops back home in Libya! It typically takes the shape of many circles inside each other and perhaps that\u2019s the reason why it\u2019s called Mshabbak<\/strong> \u0645\u0634\u0628\u0651\u0643<\/strong> (in the Levant region) as the circles tend to be tangled<\/strong> or twisted<\/strong> round each other \u0645\u062a\u0634\u0627\u0628\u0643\u0629<\/strong>.<\/sup><\/p>\n
