KulKuls are a traditional fried cookie made by Christians in India. I have
kept close to my heart for well over 20 years. In sharing this recipe, I’m
paying homage to my aunt Celie who passed away a few weeks ago, way too young.
She was one of the most loving and generous people and an amazing cook. Today
I’m left behind with her memories and also some hand written recipes. This one
is a gem – I’ve been making it for my family at Christmas every year. It’s not
officially Christmas until the Kul Kuls are ready. If you love this recipe and
I know you will, please take a moment to pray for my aunt in heaven and the
people that love her who are left behind.
The
history of KulKuls is vague, yet this delight is made by Goan,
Mangalorean and East Indian Christians. Like any recipe, the ingredients
vary. Some people use a little Semolina in their KulKuls and others
like to encrust theirs in a sugared exterior. I like to think that the recipe that my aunt passed on to me is so unique that this will be your Christmas favourite, it certainly is my families fave.
