The Shape of Christmas Tradition

Kulkuls (also known as Kidyo in Konkani) are one of the most recognizable and beloved sweets on a Mangalorean Christmas platter. Their unique, shell-like shape is formed by lovingly rolling small balls of dough over a comb or a special mold—a time-honored tradition often shared among family members.

Handcrafted & Irresistible Our Kulkuls are made from a rich dough enriched with coconut milk, butter, and a hint of vanilla or cardamom. After being shaped, they are deep-fried to a perfect golden-brown crunch and then tossed in a sweet sugar coating that dries to a light frosting.

Why They Are Special:

  • Texture: delightfully crunchy and biscuit-like.

  • Flavor: sweet and creamy from the coconut milk dough.

  • Nostalgia: A classic treat that evokes memories of homemade holiday preparations.

Perfect For:

  • Munching on with a cup of tea or coffee.

  • Adding a fun, decorative shape to gift hampers.
