These festive Goan kulkuls are crisp, sweet shells traditionally prepared during Christmas as part of the classic “Kuswar” platter. Made from a smooth dough of flour, butter, and coconut milk, the curls are shaped on a fork or kulkul mould, deep-fried until golden, and coated in a shiny sugar glaze. Every bite offers nostalgia, crunch, and the warmth of holiday celebrations.
