Kulkuls are a staple Anglo Indian Christmas sweet.
Ingredients
Kulkuls
- Maida – 1 kg
- Eggs – 6 (yolk & white)
- Sugar – ½ kg
- Coconut – 1
- Vanilla essence Dalda – 100 g
- Oil – for deep frying
Treacle
- Sugar – 250 gms
- Water – ½ cup
- Vanilla essence – 1tsp
Instructions
- Grate the coconut and grind to a smooth paste.
- Mix all the ingredients into a soft dough.
- Using forks that are dabbed on the back with dalda/ghee/butter, take a small lump of dough and spread evenly. Roll from the edge of the fork all the way to the front with the thumb to form a curl. Seal the edges firmly.
- Make all the kulkuls till the dough is exhausted. Then put on oil in a big kadai and let it heat up. Once the oil is hot, put in the kulkuls for frying. Fry till golden brown and then remove from oil.
- Keep it aside to cool until the treacle is prepared.
For the treacle: - boil all the ingredients until the sugar has melted and the syrup becomes a little thick. Then switch off the fire.
- Add the fried kulkuls to the treacle and mix well until each kulkul is coated with the sugar syrup.
- Allow it to cool.
- The treacle will ultimately thicken as a coating on the kulkuls. Color can be added to the treacle syrup if required.
