Lolo

Sweet Sindhi fried flatbread — whole wheat or fine flour dough sweetened with sugar or jaggery and fragrant with cardamom, sometimes with sesame seeds worked into the dough, rolled into thick rounds and shallow-fried on a tawa in ghee until both sides are golden and the sugar has caramelised slightly in the outer crust. The lolo is the traditional Sindhi sweet bread eaten for breakfast with butter or yogurt, or as a snack at any time of day. Made at Sindhi festivals and sent as a gift in tin boxes; the community's equivalent of the Rajasthani malpua or the Punjabi meetha paratha but with a distinctly higher sugar content and the cardamom fragrance that marks it as specifically Sindhi.
