Ingredients:
1. 2 cups of roasted groundnuts (peanuts)
2. 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (adjust to taste for spiciness)
3. 1 teaspoon of ground ginger
4. 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
5. 1/2 teaspoon of salt (adjust to taste)
6. 1-2 tablespoons of water
Instructions:
1. Roast the Groundnuts:
– Start by roasting the groundnuts. You can do this in a dry frying pan over medium heat or in an oven at around 350°F (175°C). Stir frequently to ensure they roast evenly. They are ready when they become fragrant and the skins start to peel off.
2. Remove the Skins:
– After roasting, allow the groundnuts to cool a bit. Then, rub them between your hands or use a clean kitchen towel to remove the skins. This step is optional, but removing the skins can give your Kuli Kuli a smoother texture.
3. Grind the Groundnuts:
– Grind the roasted groundnuts into a fine powder using a food processor or a mortar and pestle. You want a smooth texture.
4. Add Spices:
– In a separate bowl, mix the cayenne pepper, ground ginger, garlic powder, and salt. Adjust the spice levels to your preference.
5. Combine Groundnuts and Spices:
– Gradually add the spice mixture to the groundnut powder while mixing. Use water to bind the mixture together until it forms a firm dough-like consistency.
6. Shape into Balls or Logs:
– Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into balls or logs. You can make them any size you prefer.
7. Fry:
– Heat some vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the shaped Kuli Kuli and fry until they turn golden brown. Be sure to flip them to cook evenly.
8. Drain and Cool:
– Remove the fried Kuli Kuli from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil. Let them cool completely before serving.
Remember that the spiciness can be adjusted to suit your taste buds accordingly. Enjoy snacking on it with your chilled zobo drink or any natural juice.
