| Nigerian Kuli kuli |
Kuli Kuli is a Northern Nigerian snack that is made from dry
roasted peanuts/groundnuts , ground into a semi-paste, mixed with select
spices and deep fried until it hardens.
Kuli kuli is one crunchy snack that brings back lovely childhood memories. If you want an easy crunchy snack to munch on anytime of the day..then Kuli kuli is the snack for you..Enjoy!
Ingredients for Kuli Kuli
* 1 Cup dry roasted groundnuts / Peanuts
* half tablespoonful Grated Ginger
*A pinch of ground Chilli pepper(optional)
*Groundnut /Peanut oil , for frying
Kuli Kuli Making Directions
*Grind or Pound the roasted groundnuts and ginger until smooth. You can make use of a dry mill or mortar. You can also add a little oil to the mill/blender as you grind.Don’t allow it to turn completely to paste.
*Next, squeeze the groundnut paste to remove as much oil as possible(this step is very important if you want a very crunchy kuli kuli).The secret in getting the crunchiest kuli kuli is squeezing out as much oil out of the paste,as you can get out.
*Mold the paste into any shape of choice.I prefer the circular shape..(you can add a little water to help it mold easily).
* Now heat about 4 cm deep of peanut/groundnut oil in a frying pan or
pot, until the oil begins to smoke. ..you can add a few slices of onion
or cloves to the oil to give it some extra flavor.
*Add the molded groundnut paste to the oil and fry
until golden brown. Remove from the oil, leave to cool completely.
ENJOY!
Tip: If your Kuli kuli turned out softer than expected, pop it into a preheated oven to dry out and harden without burning it.
