Ragda
Pattice are a typical Mumbai street food snack. Potato patties are
topped with a white pea also known as 'Vatana' curry, garnished with
date and Tamarind chutney, 'sev' or dried lentil vermicelli and chopped
Coriander. This recipe however brings back very sad memories, we
recorded and documented enough footage for three videos but because of a
miscommunication, my son reformatted the card and erased everything. I
tried everything to recover the footage, but all we were able to save
are some of these pictures.<br />
This recipe made up of three
components the potato patty, the white pea curry and the tamarind and
date chutney. The sev can be bought in most Indian stores.<br />

recipes I have in the right rail, there are also videos on my
youtube channel at youtube.com/kravingsblog. Please subscribe to this
blog and the channel! <a href="http://k--ravings.blogspot.com/2013/09/aboutme.html" target="_blank">More about me and my contact information</a></span></div>
</div>
<div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Some of my favorite recipes are the ones I know my mother and grandmother used to make. Although I was never paying attention, giving these recipes new life is fun and I know that my children and their children will enjoy it for years to come.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So why do I blog and share this with the world? Initially I admit I did it just to jump on the blog bandwagon, but it grew and I got so much love and appreciation from people all over the world, that it made it worthwhile. And in May 2013, I started to video blog for the first time. I'm no stranger to the camera, I've appeared on The Decorating Challenge, Design to Win and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150358894880048.594215.716010047&type=1&l=fc89cc4483" target="_blank">Come Dine With Me Canada</a> and more recently on Recipe to Riches, however setting up in your home has it's fair set of challenges. Luckily for me, I have my two young sons that help me immensely with the filming and editing so let's just call this a home production!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope you enjoy these recipes and are able to bring a smile to the faces of those you serve and please return the favor by subscribing to this blog, my youtube channel at <a href="http://youtube.com/kravingsblog">youtube.com/kravingsblog</a> and sharing it with your friends. Happy Cooking!</span><br />

Mushrooms, you will love how they taste smothered in a spicy Butter Masala. Very
similar to Butter Chicken, this vegetarian version uses juicy Mushrooms
instead. This Lent, I am Vegetarian and I have to admit that I haven't been eating as many veggies as I should have. This period of 40 days each year forces me to take a good look at creating new and interesting ways to eat veggies. Lucky for me, Mushrooms are vegetables. I simply adore Mushrooms and can eat them anytime.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">Sabudhana wadas are an incredible Indian
street food snack that hails from Maharastra, it is vegetarian and also gluten
free. In North America, tapioca is all the rage from Tapioca snacks to bubble
tea. In India Sabudhana or Tapioca pearls have been enjoyed for generation as a
snack, breakfast food and even in desserts. This vada is sold by street vendors and stores selling </span>savoury
snacks and is very popular for it’s taste and crunch. Alythough it’s
typically enjoyed at a tea time snack, it can also be served at a party
and is certainly very impressive looking with it’s Sago pearl studded
exterior.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">My boys love crispy deep fried things and Fish Pakoras are a big hit in my household. Tilapia nuggets are dipped in a chick pea
batter, studded with whole spices like cumin and coriander seeds and chilli
flakes and coriander and deep fried till crispy. This
recipe makes a great appetizer or snack is gluten free and very easy to make. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">If you ask
anyone that grew up in India what they like to do when they are caught
at home on a rainy day, I can almost guarantee that they would say
they’d like to be curled up with a cup of chai(tea) and garma
garam(literal translation – hot) pakoras. Now they are likely referring
to potato or onion slices that are dipped in a simple chick pea
batter flavoured with whole and ground spices and herbs and deep fried.
The pakoras are fritters are crispy and should be eaten immediately.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I’m
making a popular twist on this recipe which has a blend of Indian
Chinese ingredients called the Chicken Pakora. Pakora is an Indian term
for a deep fried fritter but
pairing it with Asian ingredients makes this recipe uniquely Indo
Chinese. If you haven’t heard about Indian Chinese
cusinine before, I’m here to tell you that it is simply the best. India
is home
to generations of Chinese immigrants that brought their wonderful
cuisine with
them. Over time with the influences of their new adopted country these
flavours
got bolder and incorporated ingredients not typically seen in regular
Chinese
menus. The recipe for Chicken or Shrimp Pakoras likely evolved over time
and is a wonderful blend of the two cultures. Although the population
in India is predominantly vegetarian, there are plenty of people that
love their meat, chicken and fish to enjoy these delights!</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I use boneless Chicken boneless thigh in this
recipe and coat it in a wonderful batter before deep frying it till crunchy.
You can use Chicken breast if you prefer. Bear in mind that thigh meat, although more succulent, does take a bit longer to cook.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">A great Thai Green curry recipe starts
with fresh and fragrant ingredients. Store bought curry paste can’t hold a
candle to the taste of a fresh green curry paste. Hi everyone, I m going to show you how easy it is to prepare your
own Green Curry paste. Traditionally Thai ingredients are pounded in a mortar
and pestle, but I really don’t have the time nor a pestle big enough, nor the
patience to be honest so everything gets thrown into a food
processor. </span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">In this recipe whole
spices like white pepper, cumin and coriander are lightly roasted and
combined with aromatics like Galangal(from the Ginger family),
Lemongrass, Chillies, Garlic and Shallots. I also cram in Coriander
stems that are so unique, with Kaffir lime peel, some shrimp paste, fish
sauce and salt. I like my Thai Green Curry paste to take on a beautiful
natural green colour so I add in some Coriander and Basil leaves as
well. Once ground, this is the most aromatic paste you have ever
experienced. The freshness of the ingredients really stand out. This
must be bottled and refrigerated and is good for a few days or can be
frozen for use later.</span></span></div>

<div style="color: black;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The freshness of a Thai Green Curry paste really sing together with creamy coconut milk in this recipe. </span><span style="font-size: large;">When I want to learn how to make an
authentic Thai dish, I always rely on the experts – I have been a subscriber of
fellow Canadian Pailin’s Hot Thai Kitchen for a long time and I appreciate her
very informative and straightforward approach to Thai food. I’m going to
show you my version of her recipe for Thai Green Curry Chicken. This recipe is
very popular globally for many reasons, the combination of a fragrant Thai
green Curry paste fused with coconut milk, Chicken and other aromatics is
simply out of this world. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Typically Thai food
is made by reducing
coconut milk down till the oil separates from the solids and that oil is
used
to cook the Chicken. With commercial store bought canned coconut milk,
the stabilizers
sometimes prevent the oil from separating. Try to find coconut milk that
has a higher fat content. There are a few brands that I like to use,
Arroy is one of them. Typically when you buy coconut milk in a can, you
shake it before you open it. In this case I would reccoment you not do
that. When you open the can, the cream and thicker solids float to the
top, leaving the thinner milk at the bottom. This works well in this
recipe as I need the thicker cream for the first part of the recipe and
the thinner part for the end. I also like to use boneless Chicken thigh
meat, this is so succulent and much more inexpensive than breast meat.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Before
you read the recipe I want to add a disclaimer that although the base
recipe is very authentic, I have made small tweaks to it to my taste.
The end result is spectacular. This recipe definitely has a bite, if you
use the store bought Green paste, depending on the brand it may not
pack as much heat. If you’re using my spice paste recipe and want a mild
curry, reduce the amount of chillies by half.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Like most other kids,
my boys have loved Mac and Cheese since they were old enough to chew. I
remember making a trip to India when my son was a toddler, armed with packages
of Mac & Cheese. My boys still love Mac and Cheese but at 17 and 14, they
are all grown up and deserve something familiar but a bit more adventurous.
This Masala Mac and Cheese combines the techniques of making a curry and a
béchamel and blends it together to create a great new twist to this recipe.
This is also a great recipe to introduce your kids to new flavours by sneaking
it into something familiar.</span></span></div>

this recipe the technique of making a curry and a béchamel are fused
together to create something a bit more sophisticated. Because my boys
love some protein, I’m adding Chicken in this recipe, but you
could easily make it without. You can also customize this recipe by
choosing a different type of pasta or combination of cheese – just have
fun with it!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Anything
Chinese is a big hit in my house! And Beef
in particular is a big favourite. Recently Beef was banned in Mumbai
where my family lives as the cow is sacred to the Hindus. Beef has been
banned in other states for many years. Water Buffalo which tastes like
Beef without the heavy ‘beefy’ taste is widely available and pretty much
all you can order off any menu. The private slaughter of cows for
consumption is also illegal and any possession of Beef products is subject to punishment. Ironically, India ranks 7th in domestic consumption and 1 in
exports, although the claim is that the exports include Water Buffalo.
You can read more about the bans and what states are affected here: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattle_slaughter_in_India" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.<wbr></wbr>org/wiki/Cattle_slaughter_in_<wbr></wbr>India</a></span></span></div>

</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">In this recipe, I use a flat iron steak or any cut of meat
that has a good fat marbling. I like to pound my meat to flatten and tenderize. It’s then fried seperately.
This technique ensures that the beef is nice and crunchy and it will
take on any of the flavourings nicely. Ginger is boss here but the
beautiful Shemeji mushrooms that are high on the umami scale in the dish
come a close second.</span></span></div>

</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The orange juice really brightens up the flavors and
counters the salt from the soya and hoisin. Also add a 1/2 cup of beef or
vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Add in some cornstarch slurry – this is
just cornstarch diluted in some water.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Finally it’s time to add the star of the show and toss it in
the gravy to coat. Finish with some
julienne of carrot. And some Spring onion leaves.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;"><span>If I
knew that making a restaurant quality naan was so easy to make, I would
have shared this recipe a long time ago. Thanks to my mom’s BFF’s Aunty
Mabel for sharing this recipe. It all started with a visit with my
aunt. She loves to cook and at any given time has more food than her
fridge can handle, and since her treats are always super tasty, I’m not
one to turn her down. This time she had wrapped what looked like Naans
in some kitchen towel and had them bagged and ready for me. Once I got
home, I reheated it and I was surprised how incredibly light and fluffy
they were. My boys devoured them in minutes and I knew I had to try them
for myself.</span></span></div>

are usually cooked in a Tandoor which is a large traditional clay oven

simple and easy but you can prepare restaurant quality naans in your own
home. </span></span></div>

My father's side of the family comes from Goa surrounded by beaches so seafood is always the protein of choice. My mom's side are based in Mumbai, also on the coast and famous for it's seafood dishes in the coastal areas. No aromatics are spared in this recipe
and they are paired beautifully with fresh prawn or shrimp. This dish is not
overly spicy and is great sopped up with some rice, roti or naan. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">NYE is around the corner and we're all thinking about what to wear to look our elegant and glitzy best. I also decided to collab with some YouTubers from around the world to make something delicious and elegant to serve at an elegant soiree. I didn't have to think too hard - an elegant Ceviche immediately stuck out.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">A couple of years ago we visited the Riu Palace in Costa Rica. They were kind enough to allow me to film with their Executive Chef Rudolfo Garcia. Prior to this, I would have been scared to tackle raw fish and seafood, but Chef Rudolfo made it look so easy. I decided to make this myself and top it with the most gorgeous Tobiko flying fish roe I had been eyeing at my local specialty food store. Ceviche can be served family style, but dressed up, makes a gorgeous and elegant hors d'oeuvre.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Dice the Tuna steak and shrimp so they are the same size and add to a bowl</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Add the citrus juice and some salt and leave it for 10 mins to get a head start on the cure</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Add the Onion, Avocado, Coriander and Habanero sauce and mix well</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Cover with cling film and leave in the fridge for 1 hour to cure</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I</span><span style="font-size: large;"> love
a good pesto like the average Joe except sometimes I want a pesto that
is spectacular. Pistachios have got to be the tastiest tasting nut that
is out there. This would explain why they are sold shelled, unshelled,
salted, unsalted and flavoured. They are expensive and must be stored in the refrigerator
away from strong odours to stay fresh. The colour of the Pistachio is
mesmerizing ranging from light green to emerald and hues of Purple. It
belongs on a canvas, instead I’m going to capture it in my food
processor, turn it into a pesto together with Lime juice, Olive Oil and
Coriander and spread it over some Tilapia to make a nutty and herby
crust for my flaky fish. You’re welcome.</span></span></div>

blending ingredients together like green chillies, coriander, ginger and garlic
together with vinegar and tamarind marinating it overnight before it’s shallow
fried. Cafreals unique blend of spices and herbs makes it unique to other
Indian green spice blend preparations like Hara kebabs that use a green masala
base too. </span></span></div>

and it’s time to pull out all the stops to bedazzle your guests. This crispy
cheese tart is going to do just that with it’s simple Rosemary scented pie
crust, ooey gooey Goat cheese center and pomegranate jam topping. These tarts
can be made ahead, and warmed up before topping with the pomegranate jam.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
pie dough is the one I’ve been making religiously even since I learned
how to make it at George Brown culinary. In this recipe, I added some
chopped fresh Rosemary to wake up those tastebuds and get you in the
holiday mood. I’ve filled my tarts with crumbled Goat cheese. I love
this cheese, but I’ve discovered that not a lot of people like the gamey
taste of this cheese, if you wish you can use a cream cheese and feta
blend instead. Once baked I top this will a little Pomegranate jam, some
more crumbled cheese, some Rosemary sprigs and some Pomegranate jewels.
The sweetness from the fruit and jam compliment the creaminess of the
cheese and crunch of the tart beautifully.</span></span></div>

The Peri Peri chilli was brought by the Africans to Portugal and this beautiful
blend was born. I myself have some
Portuguese heritage and although I cannot claim this recipe to be authentic, I
can promise you that it’s a pretty good version. This spice blend to
make a delicious Roast Chicken dinner. It would look wonderful on your holiday
table but would also make a great family night meal.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">When
I’m entertaining I like to have a
couple of easy make ahead apps that look amazing. These Smoked Salmon
Pinwheels are elegant and beautiful and will earn you some fabulous
comments. Most Salmon Pinwheels I’ve seen and made before are scraps of
Smoked Salmon laid over cream cheese and rolled tightly in bread to make
a log which is then sliced. My version is going to push it just a
little bit further by making little Salmon rosettes out or strips of
Salmon to decorate the pinwheels. My younger son was introduced
to Smoked Salmon a few years ago and is such a fan that he hangs around
the kitchen like a cat waiting for scraps. I always buy extra for him
:).</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The
bread I’m using comes pre sliced horizontally. This is a great product
from Loblaws that caters to the Italian community to make something
called </span><span style="font-size: large;">Tramezzino a popular Italian sandwich. It’s also perfect
for my pinwheels and I also use it to make Smogastorta, a Swedish
sandwich cake. Before this product was in market, I would order a loaf
from the bakery and ask them to slice it horizontally for me and remove
the crust myself. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: large;">Who doesn’t love a
Chocolate Truffle? These delicious morsels of chocolate are covered in nuts,
sugars and other flavourings or dipped in Chocolate. They melt in your mouth,
warm your soul and finish off a meal beautifully. Every year at this time the
speciality Chocolate stores are filled with beautifully wrapped Chocolate
Truffles boxes. Although they can be pretty expensive, they pretty much fly off
the shelves. I’m going to make a basic Chocolate
Truffle and roll it in some Cinnamon sugar to capture th<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">e flavours o</span>f the
Holidays. This is so easy that you’d be tempted to make boxes of these treats
for your own family and friends.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: large;">For
the best truffles you must use really good quality Chocolate that has a
cocoa percentage of 70% or higher I’m
using a semi sweet chocolate and I need about 200 gms chopped. You can
either
chop this by hand or dump them in a food processor to save time. This is
covered in simmering cream and melted into a ganache. What I love about
Chocolate Truffles is that you can customize them anyway you like by
adding flavoured liqueurs to the ganache and experimenting with
different coatings. I started with Cinnamon sugar but also made some
rolled in icing sugar, grated chocolate and chopped nuts. This
assortment makes a beautiful gift box for the holidays.</span></div>

Arrrriba, I’m in the mood for a little Mexican party and we’re going to
prepare a Fiesta Chicken Soup. In this recipe, I’m going to use fresh
ingredients
combined with the smokiness of Mexican chilli and cumin. I’m using large
red
mexican chillies, these can be purchased dried and I’m simply going
powder this
in my food processor. If you can’t find regular <span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">M</span>exican dried chillies,
you can
substitute guajillo, ancho or even chipotle dried peppers. You can even
just use <span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">M</span>exican chilli or
chipotle powder.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: large;">This
meatball
encompasses all the flavors of a stereotypical Christmas or
Thanksgiving meal
all in one bite. Ground Turkey is mixed together with spices, herbs,
rice, nuts, rice and cheese and rolled in fresh breadcrumbs before it’s
baked to a crispy finish.
It’s the magic of the holidays all in one bite. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: large;">In
this recipe I’m
using lean Turkey because this is the only kind that was available, but
dark
meat would work well too. I’ve got one pound of minced Turkey and I’m
going to be adding some crazy favours of Christmas to the mixture
before I shape them into meatballs. I’m also adding small cubes of
Asiago that will form pockets of melty cheese. These meatballs are
rolled in a breadcrumb, herbs and grated cheese mixture before baking in
a hot oven. If you use a mini ice cream scoop, you can make an
appetizer size or a regular ice cream scoop size would make a great side
to a creamy pasta.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The scent of cinnamon in the air is extra special during the
holidays, and there’s nothing quite like
the taste of a warm Cinnamon rolls just out of the over drizzle with a sticky
sweet glaze.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This
recipe does take some time to prepare because of all the proofing time,
but is well worth the wait. Yeast is activated till frothy and bubbly
and mixed in to a flour and egg dough. It’s slathered with a sugared
cinnamon spread. The very first time I made these I was so intimidated to get started but once I got started, I realized that’s it’s really simple, you just need to have time to leave the dough alone so it has time to rise to perfection. I’ve been making these often now, much to the delight of my boys.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">Crème brûlée is one
of those desserts that look super difficult to make, is a little technical but
really easy to nail. Cream is simmered and then poured into beaten eggs and
sugar to make a delicious custard base and then baked. Once cooked and chilled
the magic begins, sugar is poured over the top and bruleed to perfection. </span>This is not just a
tropical twist, it’s also great for people that are lactose intolerant or just
don’t want to eat dairy.</span></span></div>

also need a blow torch – these kitchen versions are safe and very inexpensive.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Chilli Shrimp & Paneer wontons are a a
perfect app for any party. Tiny pieces of Shrimp and Paneer are tossed in
spring onions and chilli paste to make a spectacular filling for these crispy
treats. What’s great about this recipe is that these can be made ahead and
frozen and deep fried when you need them. It’s best prepared fresh, but if you’re
planning to freeze them, line them up on a baking sheet so they are not
touching each other before you freeze them, once frozen you can add
them to a freezer safe bag.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">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.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">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.</span></span></div>
