Kul Kul is a traditional Indian sweet prepared during Christmas. It is crunchy and makes a good snack to store at home. 

Christmas is here and time to rejoice. There’s a song and joy everywhere, elaborate preparations are being made and the internet is flooded with cake recipes. Oh! so many I am seeing each day, there is really no dearth for tasty dishes isn’t it? It’s been sometime I posted anything related to Christmas after the cookie recipe, so here I am with a tasty Goan sweet

I have seen many of friends make elaborate dishes, such beautiful flower shaped sweets, cakes and cookies. Today, I have Kul Kul or Kal Kal as it is called. 

Kul kul is a sweet from Goan cuisine. It is an Indian sweet made during Christmas.  Coconut milk or milk is often used to mix the dough. But, I have used water here. A few tips, before I proceed to the recipe.

• Mix the ghee well with the flour. Rub it well numerous times before you add other ingredients.
• Add water little at a time, you need a stiff dough.
• A little oil may be applied on the dough and then kept covered aside.
• Making of kul kul needs time and patience.

• Add sugar, salt and semolina to it. Again mix it.

• You need a fork to give shape to kul kul. Take a marble size ball, press it on the fork and roll it into the shape of a cone. Seal the back end. Keep it on a plate and cover with a thin cloth, repeat for the rest of the dough.
• Heat oil in a pan, add a batch of kul kul to deep fry, once they are golden in colour remove on an absorbent paper.
