Treat your ingredients with care...

• Peanuts — To enhance the flavor of the Kuli-Kuli, consider using roasted peanuts instead of raw peanuts. Roasting the peanuts adds a deeper nutty taste to the final product.

Tips & Tricks

• For a milder spiciness, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper in the recipe.
• If the dough is too dry, add a little more water to achieve the desired consistency.
• Experiment with different spices such as paprika or chili powder to customize the flavor of your Kuli-Kuli.
• Store the Kuli-Kuli in an airtight container to maintain its crispiness.
• Serve the Kuli-Kuli with a side of spicy tomato sauce or a tangy tamarind chutney for an extra burst of flavor.
