Kulkuls  is a Goan sweet sugar glazed curls prepared during Christmas and New year. Looks similar to  miniature gnocchi. These are easy to make sweet or snack item apart from the rolling process. The shaping takes about half an hour for this much quantity. Otherwise super easy to make and a delicious snack or sweet too.

I felt the taste and the texture is in between like sweet Diamond cuts and the Vettu cake. I loved the crunchy tasty Christmas snack. Perfect item to share with neighbors at this festive season. Otherwise can be prepared for a perfect tea time snack.
