Kormolas & Kulkuls | Goan Christmas Sweets

Kormolas and Kulkuls are among the most cherished Christmas-time sweet treats and are munched on without any fuss by kids and adults alike :) Here's a recipe that I find completely balanced in taste and absolutely crunchy to the bite.
Kormolas are also called ‘Phoolancho Kalyo’ meaning Flower-Bud Cookies, while Kulkuls are referred to as ‘Sweet Curls’.

Ingredients:
1& 1/2 Cups All-Purpose flour (Maida)
2 Tablespoons Vanaspati/Ghee
1/3 Cup Powdered Sugar
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1 Egg Yolk
1/4 Cup Milk (room temperature)
Flour for dusting
Oil for deep-frying
•For Kormolas, the dough must be rolled out thin, whereas for Kulkuls keep the dough a little thick so that it doesn't tear when you press it onto a fork/comb/corrugated surface.
•Cover the prepared Kormolas and Kulkuls with a slightly damp cloth so that they don't dry out and crack. Don't wait too long to fry them, since they start to droop.
•Ensure the Oil isn't too hot; use a little piece of dough to check- the piece must not come to the surface immediately, but should reach the bottom and begin being surrounded by bubbles.
•Keep the flame low, and fry the kormolas/kulkuls for about 5 minutes and then increase the flame to medium and then fry till lightly browned.
•Allow to rest and crisp up. Once cooled, store in an airtight container.

Hello pls don't write the word Xmas, but Christmas bcos it clearly the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ n its Christmas not Xmas which only shows some peculiar sound.

[@romasemere6794]

God bless you for remanding those people not having attention.

[@dorothyfernandes349]

Thk you Florency for the recipe. Got me in the Christmas mood

[@FlorencyDias]

Hiya Dorothy! A Christmas mood is a delightful mood✨🎄 Thanks love, and have a great week ahead 💫

[@julietabraham476]

Thanks for the clear and detailed recipe.As a side note ,it would be preferable to use a small flat tipped brush dedicated for applying moisture to the sides instead of a cotton bud.

[@FlorencyDias]

Hello Juliet! What you've suggested does seem as a much better option, since it eliminates chances of cotton fibres. Thank you very much 😘 Have a blessed week ahead💐

[@josefadias3631]

Wow super👌

[@madhavkopalle]

Hi Can we make without egg..

[@aneesaumar670]

Hey dear, watching you make kalkals and karmolas you revived my beloved mom’s memories. She always inserted a cross first in the oil first before adding whatever kuswar she made. Your recipes are so authentic and awesome. God bless you dear.

[@FlorencyDias]

Oh Aneesa! You're a lovely sweetheart 😘 Thank you so much, you brought me such happiness as I read this💓 You're blessed to bless💫

[@brendagomes1926]

Tried these out for Christmas n they were super crispy and sweetness was just perfect..... Everyone loved it 😍

[@robertballuumm730]

Fond memories, my late mother always used to make these at Christmas. I remember spending time as a child helping to roll kulkuls on the back of a fork. 🙏🙏🙏

[@cldy886]

Hi Florence ! Was curious if adding a couple of table spoons of semolina would change the texture a lot ? . Are you kulkuls very hard typically ?

[@JONADANIELS-p1h]

My mama used to teach me the same way. Whole night we used to sit and do it. 🎉 those golden days are over.

[@joanitabarretto3252]

Dear Florence where we will get hand paddle to make kalkal

[@staiceymathai1307]

Hi Ma'am, you should make a playlist with all your Christmas recipes 💕

[@glittergwyn]

These look yum. I remember my late mum adding rava in the dough but I don't remember the quantity. Do you know if rava can be added? And how much?

[@vishakhagazmer1233]

What wonderful recipes... Can you please let me know what can we use instead of egg? I am. Highly allergic....

[@Shubsai]

[@shailaubale1010]

So wonderful the background music so nostalgic. Beautiful.

[@lailasiddiqui263]

The first shape that you show where the dough is pressed by your fingers - is something very similar that syrian christians in kerala make - called the "koral " appam. korral means like a tube. appam means bread . Unlike the one you show it is savory. but they do make something called Diamond cuts which is made of a sweet dough ! A goan friend raised in bombay and me were trading recipes on Meat achar ! But she is such an awesome cook. I am still learning. Thanks to awesome videos like yours

[@aramitafernandes8019]

All your recipes are so accurate and come out so well. Thanks

Christmas is a joy waiting welcoming child Jesus with hand made sweet sweets. Christmas introduced to us by our parents.celebrating it with joyful hearts together as a family gifting Jesus a happy joyful family. Tradition have carried it along and brought it to us here today what do we have to offer.lets prepare ourselves just as the sweet we prepare. Let's not be bitter let's not be sour but sweet. As sweet as the flowers welcoming us in the morning and in the afternoon and in the evening and at night. Remain cheerful all the time because we do not know the time of his second coming. Good luck to all and merry Christmas.
