Kul Kuls

Ingredients

½ kg Maida, ¼ kg Wheat Flour; ½ tspn. salt, 2 tbspns. Butter, 1 cup Sugar - powdered, ½ - 1 cup thick Coconut Milk extracted from ½ a Coconut, Oil for deep frying. For the Sugar coating – 1 ½ Cups Sugar, ¼ cup water Put the Sugar & Water in a vessel place on heat, keep stirring till sugar has dissolved & the syrup has thickened to a 2 thread consistency – pour over the fried Kul Kuls & toss nicely so that all the Kul Kuls are evenly coated - set aside to cool/dry, store in an air tight container & use.

Method

Sieve together the Maida/Wheat Flour/Salt - put into a mixing bowl, add the butter & work it into the flour mixture add the powdered sugar & Coconut milk little @ a time & mix to form a soft firm dough – cover the dough with a warm damp cloth so that it does not dry. To make the Kul Kuls – Take a marble size ball of the dough & flatten it against the back of a greased fork - then roll tightly (from the bottom end of the fork) into a tight Curl/scroll put the Kul Kuls on a plate which is sprinkled (dusted) with flour. Grease the back of the Fork again & repeat making Kul Kuls till all the dough is over. Every time you take a ball of dough to make a kul kul grease the back of the fork. Heat oil for deep-frying in a wok on medium heat – when oil is hot add the Kul Kuls and fry till golden brown. Remove & place in a colander to drain then set on aside on paper kitchen towels – do this till you have finished frying all the Kul Kuls – Now put the Kul Kuls in a big vessel & pour the warm prepared Sugar Syrup over it & toss nicely so that they are evenly coated – leave to cool & store in air tight containers
