Oral history claims that the recipe originates in 19th century Tunisia.
Many Jewish families who emigrated from Tunisia or Tunisian-influenced regions such as Tripolitania or eastern Algeria (former Ifriqiya) to Israel still have this food as a family recipe, and it is therefore a relatively common street food in Israel.[4]
