Today is my younger son Harsha's Birthday so making this sweet. Both my son's love this dish as well as hubby. Whenever I make these, he is the one who helps me a lot in rolling the gul gul.
To prepare this simple sweet we need
All purpose flour/Maida - 2 cups
Semolina/sooji fine - 4 tbsp
Sugar(granulated or powdered) - 1/4 cup( can add more if needed to make it more sweeter)
Baking powder - 1 tsp
Melted butter - 2 tbsp
Coconut cream(thick coconut milk) - enough to mix in ( around 3/4 to 1 cup)
Egg white - optional ( I sometime don't use them)
Salt - a pinch
Oil for deep frying
Fork
In a mixing bowl... mix in butter and baking powder... to it add all purpose flour/maida nd sooji fine... mix well with hands and also add in sugar and a pinch of salt... Add coconut milk little by little and mix everything to a dough consistency( not very hard and not very soft too). Cover with a wet cloth and set aside for 5 - 10 mts. Then take a small marble size of dough and a fork. Press the dough at the back of the fork(also to flatten them).. press with fingers lightly. Then from one end roll the dough just like rolling a mat... Now you can see a nice ridged curl at the back( where the dough had been pressed). Repeat this step to all. Heat oil in a frying pan and drop the shaped curl dough into the oil and deep fry till crisp and light brown. You can store them in a air tight container at least for few weeks.
Thank you

Kavi.. mine got over... so send it to the whole gang :D
nice recipe nad good idea. but i wud love to know if we can substitute coconut milk to milk? can we use only milk? pls advice me. thanks
Sure Shaikh you can substitute the use of coconut milk with regular room temp milk( can use warmed and chilled to room temp also) or can avoid both and use slightly warm water for kneading ... coconut milk will just give u additional flavor that's it... but you will get the same shape with the use of water or milk too... Hope I have cleared or let me know if u need any more clarification and thanks for dropping by :)
wow super i never heard this sweet!
These look great! I will definitely try this recipe and give you the feedback. I was just wondering about the egg white, does it serve any special purpose in the dough? What difference does it make when it's used. Thanks! :) Fauzia
@ Fouzia -You can skip egg whites if not needed. I have not used them though the recipe asks for it. It just acts as a binding agent and gives out a good texture to the dish.
Thanks
Padma
Hi Padma,
I have looking for a good recipe for this and I am so glad I came across your site. Thanks for the great recipe. It came really well! I didn't use the egg white but it still came really good, I increased sugar to 1/2 cup too.
Thanks for sharing...you have a nice collection of recipes....I will be trying out many more!
