Kolompeh (Persian: کلمپه) is an Iranian pastry baked in the city of Kerman.[1][2] Kolompeh looks like a pie with a mixture of minced dates with cardamom powder and other flavoring inside. Dates, wheat flour, walnuts and cooking oil are the main ingredients.[3] Pistachios or sesame powder are often used for decorating kolompeh.
