Dervesh is a Pakhtoon specialty, and one you usually do not find outside the province of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. For me, that’s what makes it extra special and unique. It can be served as a dessert or even as a snack at tea time. On top of that, it’s super tasty and very simple to make.

  • Sugar - ½ kg
