    Hi hi, Bigbite im greek and in the greece original we do it different way, And i wanna share it. To cut loukoumades, grab the dough with a handful and press your index finger and thumb. Cut the loukoumades formed by the pressure of the hand with a wet spoon, insteed with your hand, Also Before rest for 1 hour When we do not see knots of flour in the dough, then with strong movements we lift the liquid dough that looks like thin chewing gum and beat it hard in the bowl , it make them better.And also for original greek use 1 spoon honey insteed of sugar.

    Hello and thank you for the recipe. I belong to the Native - East Indian community primarily from the original island of Mumbai City in India and spread around the coastal communities in the state of Maharashtra. Our community dates back to the 1500s since the Portuguese rule from around 1534 - 1961.Most families from our community - to this day - parents, grand parents and great grand parents make ( Loukoumades) . We call them "Fugias" (as in a balloon that has been blown with air) and usually eat those right after frying or eat it with food (mostly meat based curries) as a bread substitute. These are considered a delicacy and are usually made during special occasions - must for an East Indian Wedding or First Holy Communion party. However, we do not soak the fried "Fugias" in syrup. Your recipe and frying process is the same as ours. We do let the batter rise overnight to ferment before frying. Thank you for the recipe. Well demonstrated and very insightful.

    Loqma means mouthful or a bite of food in Arabic, loquimat is the plural of loqma in Arabic, this dish was found i. Baghdad in Iraq 13th century or before.

      In ancient Greece, there was a sweet with the same proportions and preparation method as loukouma, called honey coins, which had a round shape. This sweet was first introduced to Europe by Callimachus. Aristotle called it ‘plakuntes’. Further references can be found in Archestratus on the Dipnosophists and in the works of Aristophanes. It is said that the recipe for the preparation of loukouma is the first recorded ancient confectionery recipe.
      The Turkish word lokma means bit. It has the same meaning in Arabic (لقمة luqma(t))[4], from which it is derived. A variant called لقمة القادي (the judge's bite) was described by Muhammad bin Hassan al-Baghdadi in the 13th century and is still prepared in Arab countries today.

      It’s actually Arabic “Lukaymat” from Lukma and means one bite.

      There is nothing "turkish" actually. Their cuisine is actually a copy of Byzantine Greek cuisine with some arabic influences.

    Who cares if you call it lokma or louqaimat.... We do it for hundreds of years and we call it loukoumades or sviggi in the aegean islands. For us belongs to us... You can have your own version and you can call it as you want in your own country. We don't care.....

      It is also a Turkish sweet and also Arabic, Indian etc. with different variations such as donuts.
      In ancient Greece, there was a sweet with the same proportions and preparation method as loukouma, called honey coins, which had a round shape. This sweet was first introduced to Europe by Callimachus. Aristotle called it ‘plakuntes’. Further references can be found in Archestratus on the Dipnosophists and in the works of Aristophanes. It is said that the recipe for the preparation of loukouma is the first recorded ancient confectionery recipe.
      The Turkish word lokma means bit. It has the same meaning in Arabic (لقمة luqma(t))[4], from which it is derived. A variant called لقمة القادي (the judge's bite) was described by Muhammad bin Hassan al-Baghdadi in the 13th century and is still prepared in Arab countries today.
