Khagineh

(Gheyganakh, خاگینه)

Khagineh is a Persian dish often described as a "sugar omelet" but is more akin to a crêpe if looking at its texture and form. The basic batter for khagineh is made with simple ingredients like flour, eggs, sugar, and milk or yogurt. It also includes additional ingredients such as saffron, cinnamon, walnuts, dates, and ground cardamom, all fried in butter.


Khanigeh is not only simple to prepare but is also quite nutritious, providing lots of calories and a substantial amount of protein, and is a good source of vitamins B6 and B12, as well as the mineral selenium. However, it is also high in cholesterol and saturated fats.
