Posted By:

Kulkuls, a much sought-after Christmas season dish prepared in the Goan region, actually happens to be an Indian variation of the famous Filhoses Enroladas, a rolled pastry that looks like a rose.

Christmas 2022: How To Prepare Kulkuls

Kidyo, the name given to Kulkuls in the Konkani language, which means worms, sounds appalling instead of appealing. Hence shells or curls are a better adjective to use if it so requires.

You can enlist your entire family to take a part in this preparation and it is fun and frolic, to make this unusual dessert. To make a larger batch of Kulkuls, you will certainly need the help of older kids who can actually enjoy rolling each one with a fork. You can preserve them for days if you store them in an airtight box. Kulkuls are your traditional sweets which you can exchange with your friends and neighbours, especially on a fun day like Christmas. Check out the recipe here.

Recipe Type: Dessert

Serves: 24 People

Ingredients
    • Coconut milk- 1 cup
    • Vegetable oil- 4 Tbsp
    • Granulated sugar-1 cup
    • Water, as needed-3 to 4 tablespoons
    • Table salt- 1/4 teaspoon
    • All-purpose flour-4 cups
    • Baking powder- 1/2 teaspoon
    • Cold unsalted butter, cubed- 1 tablespoon
    • Eggs-2 large
    • Confectioners' sugar- ¼ cup
How to Prepare
  • 1. In a large bowl, combine the flour and baking powder well.

    2. Rub the butter into the flour little by little, until the butter reduces to the size of a pea.

    3. Beat the eggs and add them to the flour-butter mixture.

    4. Make a soft dough by mixing confectioners' sugar and coconut milk into this mixture.

    5. Make small-sized balls out of the dough.

    6. Grease the fork with some oil, flatten the dough ball and press it to the back of the fork until it forms a rectangle along the length of the fork tines.

    7. Starting at the bottom end roll the dough up and off the fork tines into a tight curl.

    8. Instead of rolling using a fork, you can use a Gnocchi board.

    9. You will get a tube-like curl with ridges from this fork.

    10. Work on the remaining dough and place the curls on the plate.

    11. Heat oil in a deep skillet on medium heat.

    12. Fry the kulkuls in batches about 6 or 7 at a time till they reach light golden-brown colour.

    13. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet.

    14. Roll the kulkuls in powdered sugar while they are still warm.

    15. Place the curls on the serving platter until the sugar dries up on the kulkuls.

    16. Kulkuls can be stored for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.
