A quintessential Mangalorean Kuswar item, the 'gulio' is slowly losing out to other popular items on the goodie platter. To those new here, 'Kuswar' is a collective term for Christmas goodies prepared in Mangalorean Catholic households and includes sweets as well as savouries - mostly deep fried.
Kuswar is an ever growing collection of goodies I would say. Whenever I visit Mangalore during Christmas I get to eat new things being included in the traditional platter and most times the gulio are missing. I have always loved gulio as they have a bite and crunch and a mild sweetness that comes from jaggery.
If prepared properly they are a delight to eat despite the fact that they are a little hard. So do try out this recipe and send me your feedback to ruchikrandhap@gmail.com or follow me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and GooglePlus and leave your comments!
