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.
