In Tibet this lacy golden-brown disc is known as a bhulu. Crunchy, sweet, and buttery it calls to mind an Indian jalebi before it’s been anointed with sugar syrup. Bhulu are one of several Losar Khapsey, or Tibetan New Year Cookies. I found it at Gangjong Kitchen (72-24 Roosevelt Ave.), a newish spot in Himalayan Heights. Technically it’s an offering. This did not stop me from devouring this hubcap-sized treat in full sight of the Dalai Lama who peered down at me from the wall. Losar is tomorrow, so today is the last day to score a bulug. Don’t worry if you don’t get there today you can always come back for His Holiness’ birthday on July 6 to bag a bhulu.
