Kulkuls is a sweet item made only during Christmas time. They are supposed to resemble worms for whatever reason. We were just married that year – just two months away from Christmas. Equipped with a lot of enthusiasm but zero knowledge when it came to cooking I ventured into preparing Christmas sweets. We both got together and went about making kulkuls. Kulkuls need coconut juice. We prepared the dough and went for evening mass – it was a Sunday. After returning we had dinner quickly and set about making kulkuls. Little did I realise that the coconut juice helps the dought to ferment and we are not supposed to keep the dough but fry the kulkuls immediately The kulkuls swelled in the oil and the size became four to five times in the oil. Obviously I was disappointed and told my husband that we will not serve them but just eat them ourselves. When the first lot of visitors arrived the first thing my husband asked me in their presence to serve them the kulkuls!!! A big tease no doubt but I refused and then the whole story had to be repeated to the visitors.

It looks very tasty. I also learned how to cook after marriage. Sometimes I didn’t get lucky, but slowly I knew everything.
My husband was quite co-operative and ate everything what I cooked (lol)
And what’s wrong with the big ones … the better the meal was
They are meant to be small
You are right about the worms – the ones in your picture look remarkably like maggots! Very appetising!
If you have an Indian store nearby just order for those maggots. You will love them (lol)
I have been asked to change the image which I have now, most reluctantly They wanted a larger picture.
I’m not sure if they now look more or less maggoty than before!
What you saw earlier is the size of reak kulkuls. I agree with you these do look like maggots. But kulkuls are delicious and I maintain that.
I have always loved cooking so I really didn’t have any misadventures with cooking. However, you can cook anything you want these days by watching on youtube.
I was just around 23 then and with no knowledge of cooking whatsoever (lol)
I haven’t tasted them but they look tasty enough to unch
Did you read the story??? And did you laugh after reading it?
