What it is
Golden dumplings of Ramadan: crisp yeast dough balls fried and drowned in date syrup (dibs) or honey, scattered with sesame — the Emirates' sweetest sound is their crunch. Ingredients: flour, yeast, sugar, yogurt, cardamom, saffron, water; date syrup or honey; sesame seeds. Recipe: 1) Make a loose batter; proof until bubbly. 2) Drop spoonfuls (or squeeze from the hand) into hot oil. 3) Fry, turning, until deep gold and hollow-crisp. 4) Drain; pour syrup over while hot. Serve: immediately, with Arabic coffee during Ramadan evenings. Flavor: crisp shell, syrup-soaked heart. History: luqaimat ('the judge's morsel', from Arabic luqmat al-qadi) spans the Arab world; the Emirati date-syrup version is its Gulf signature. See also: Harees, Machboos.
