Ingredients

Servings
  • 8 oz. peanuts , salted and dry roasted
  • 1 tablespoon ginger grated fresh
  • ¼ teaspoon Chili pepper ground
  • peanut oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Grind the peanuts and ginger until smooth.
  2. Add the ground chili pepper and mix well.
  3. Squeeze the peanut paste to remove as much oil as possible. This step is very important to obtain a very crisp kuli kuli.
  4. Divide the dough into about twenty pieces and give the kuli kuli their shape: either in a stick, in a small crown, or in balls.
  5. Add 2 tablespoons of water to the dough if it does not work easily.
  6. Heat a large volume of peanut oil in a deep pan.
  7. Fry the kuli kuli over medium heat until golden brown.
  8. Drain on paper towels.
  9. Enjoy hot or cold

Notes

  • It is possible to add a few slices of onion or cloves in the oil while frying to give an extra flavor.
