Gulio

I am so happy that I am able to make Kuswar for the first time all by myself. I am already one with making 5 items & I have another 3 more to go. Like I mentioned before, all the Kuswar recipes are my Mother's recipe. My Mom makes the best Kuswar & I am glad that I am able to share here yummy recipes to my followers. Today I am sharing Gulio recipe, Gulio in Konkani means round. since this snack is round in shape  its called as Gulio. This snack is sweet & you can alter the sweetness of this snack by adding more or less Jaggery. This is how it is made

Makes: 6 cups of Gulio
Making time: 1 - 2 hours
Total time: 15 hours

Ingredients:

• 2 cups boiled rice (brown or white any variety is fine but I used brown)
• 1 cup grated coconut
• 1 cup white Jaggery
• 1/2 tspn Cardamom powder
• 1/2 tspn salt
• Oil for deep frying

Method

1. Soak the rice in water for at least 6 to 8 hours. Overnight is better.
2. Now grind the rice along with coconut, salt & cardamom powder to a smooth paste
3. Now in an nonstick Pan or any other big pan, add the rice paste & keep stirring to form a stiff dough. Once the dough is formed, turn off the heat & set aside to cool down a little.
4. Now start making small balls with this dough & place them in a greased plate.
5. Heat the oil & fry these gulios on medium heat until they are dark brown.
6. Once they are fried store them in an airtight container.
