Definition & Meaning of "tulumba"

What in "tulumba"?

Tulumba is a popular sweet pastry in Turkey and other parts of the Middle East and Eastern Europe. It is made from a choux pastry dough that is piped into long, thin tubes and then deep-fried until it is golden brown and crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. The pastries are then soaked in a sugar syrup flavored with lemon juice and rosewater, giving them their characteristic sweet and tangy taste. Tulumba is often served cold and is a popular dessert during festivals and special occasions such as Ramadan.
