Kul Kuls - Deep Fried Traditional Cookie - 12 Days Of Christmas
This is a traditional favourite made by Christians in India by rolling the dough on a comb or fork to get a spring like shape during the holiday season. Its origins can be traced to Portugal, although this recipe has totally evolved. Every family has their own recipe, some use coconut milk and others use semolina. This recipe is a tribute to my late aunt Celie Coutinho who passed away recently.
