Instructions

Very very bad recipe…. too many eggs… the oil while frying just overflowed,…… very very bad recipe….. cooking was a very bad idea and I had a very bad day coz the whole day I was just cleaning my stove coz of the overflow of the oil…. am very very dissappointed… plz make sure U first try the recipe and then post it in the internet…..
Really awful recipe. Weight proportions are very bad. The whole recipe was a total failure. Beware please dont follow this recipe,cause you are heading for disaster. please don`t put this recipe on the internet cause u just waste peoples time and ingredients.
The measurements are not clear, sugar proportion is very less.
I think the measurements are incorrect. butter is more for half a kg of maida and eggs are also more.
My mother use to add paprika to give little spicy taste.
Thanks to Sanjeev. This was my first attempt to making kal kal and it just came out perfect. Unlike the ladies with their foolish comments on oil overflowing nothing as such happens if one knows to keep the stove in low flame and fry the kal kal. I suggest readers to try this recipe. Thanks.
This is the perfect kalkal. We make this for every christmas. My mom used to make this. This is the first time I tried the recipe following your directions and kalkals came out perfect. Adding different colors made the kalkals so colorful. My mom used to make them without adding any color. Thank you sujee. I like all your recipes. They are very authentic and the instructions are perfect. I am waiting for more and more of your recipes. sujee you are a wonderful cook indeed.
I used 3 eggs… It came out perfect no oil falls…amazing….
lakshmi,let me tell u.Sujee atleast made a contribution.instead of killing people`s inspiration by harsh words,just comment politely dear….and despite all ur words,look how polite sujee have been.even i u used to cook the best rated recipes from pachakam, but sometimes they turn out really bad,sometimes not even eatable.it doesnt mean that the recipe is bad, but just a small or big mistake spoiled the dish!but i try again making variations and that used to turn out better.thats how cooking is developed na…anyway,i have never heard about the dish before and i dono what it is…but sounds good…
Wow-Just made Kalkals – n believe m it came out wonderful – soft – fluffy – when u eat it just melts in d mouth. Its just excellent. Thank u Sanjeev.
Thank you for the recipe. Could you also add what kind of essense we should use. Thank you.
Hi Nandini, Lakshmi and Sandhya!! thank you all for the valuable comments. Even when i make kalkals, the oil does fluff up but it doesnt overflow though. sorry it happened to u Lakshmi. if u want u can add may be 2 eggs and try.
And Sandhya, if u add more sugar to this proportion of ing, kalkals will become too sweet and the kalkals are not supposed to be that way. but if u do like it to be a little more sweet, u can add more sugar, just make sure u add equal proportions of sugar and butter. happy cooking 🙂
Nice one….
