Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Whole Wheat Flour | 2 cups |
| All Purpose Flour (Maida) | 1/4 cup |
| Sooji (Semolina / Rava) | 1/2 cup |
| Caster Sugar | 2 tablespoons |
| Sunflower Oil | 2 tablespoons (for dough) |
| Salt | 1/4 teaspoon |
| Whole Egg | 1 |
| Coconut Milk | 1/2 cup |
| Sunflower Oil | For deep frying |
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Dough:
- Begin by combining the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, semolina (sooji), caster sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl.
- Add the sunflower oil and the whole egg, then pour in the coconut milk gradually. Mix everything together to form a soft dough.
- Once the dough has come together, cover it with a damp cloth and allow it to rest for about 10 minutes. This resting period helps the dough to firm up and makes it easier to work with.
-
Shape the Kulkuls:
- After the dough has rested, take a small portion of it and set a fork next to you. Gently press the dough on the back of the fork, flattening it slightly.
- Start rolling the dough from one end to the other, forming a small curl while ensuring the edges stay intact and don’t separate.
- Once the dough has been shaped into a curl, gently roll it further between your palms to make sure it holds its form without losing its shape.
-
Fry the Kulkuls:
- Heat enough sunflower oil in a kadai (deep pan) for deep frying. Once the oil is hot, begin adding the dough curls in batches.
- Fry the kulkuls until they turn golden brown and crispy. Be sure to turn them gently to ensure they cook evenly on all sides.
- Once fried, remove the kulkuls from the oil and set them aside on paper towels to drain excess oil.
-
Glaze with Honey:
- After the kulkuls have cooled down to room temperature, drizzle a generous amount of honey over them.
- Toss the kulkuls gently to coat them evenly with the honey, giving them a glossy, sweet finish.
-
Serve:
- Serve the Goan Style Kulkuls as a delicious party snack or a delightful after-school treat. Their crispy texture, sweet honey glaze, and rich flavors are sure to please both kids and adults alike.
