Khapse

Khapse or zhero is a traditional Tibetan snack. It's usually made with a combination of flour, sugar, milk, oil, and boiling water. The sugar is dissolved in water and then mixed with flour, milk, and oil in a deep bowl in order to make the dough. The dough is kneaded and sliced into long vertical strips. A cut is made in the center of each strip, and the ends are gently twisted on opposite sides. Khapse is then deep-fried in hot oil until golden brown and crisp. It's served immediately, often with a piping hot cup of coffee or tea on the side.
