Poolaki (
Persian: پولکی) commonly called Pooleki is a type of
candy made mainly in
Isfahan,
Iran. Its shape is in the form of a thin disc, pretty much like a very thin coin, which starts dissolving as it enters the mouth. It is made of
sugar,
water, white
vinegar and some natural taste of
saffron, dried lime or cocoa powder. It is similar to toffee.[1] The word is similar to one called Poolak which means "small coin" in
Persian. Poolaki is also a Persian surname.
