Gosh-e fil (Persian: گُوش فيل; "elephant's ear"[1]) is a fried pastry from Afghan cuisine[2] The dough is shaped like an elephant ear (goosh), and deep-fried in oil. Each piece is then topped with chopped pistachios and powdered sugar.

The dough is made by whisking eggs, milk and butter, then adding the mixture to the dry ingredients.[4]
