The term "kogekedler" translates to "fried dough balls" in English. The dish consists of small, deep-fried dough balls that are typically served with a sweet or savory sauce. The dough is made from a simple batter of flour, water, and sometimes eggs, which is then formed into small balls and fried until golden brown.

Kogekedler are often served as a snack or a dessert. When served as a dessert, they are usually accompanied by a sweet syrup made from sugar, water, and sometimes lemon juice. The syrup is poured over the hot kogekedler, allowing the sugar to caramelize and coat the dough balls. This creates a delightful contrast between the crispy exterior and the soft, slightly chewy interior of the kogekedler.

In some regions, kogekedler are also served with a savory sauce, such as a yogurt-based sauce or a tomato-based sauce. This variation is often referred to as "kögkedler." The savory kogekedler are typically served as a snack or a side dish, accompanying meats or other savory dishes.
