What it is

A closer look at Tulumba.

Ridged fingers of choux-style dough deep-fried then drowned in cold sugar syrup, crisp-shelled and juicy within — the baklava-shop counter classic of Turkey and the former Ottoman world.

What to look for

Know it when you find it.

The ridges should stay crunchy against the syrup-soaked interior; freshly fried ones are served cool, never refrigerated.
