Ingredients
- 2 cloves ginger, finely grated
- 1 tin (1 ⅔ cups) evaporated milk
- ⅔ tin (1 ¼ cups) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tbsp coconut cream
- 6 cups flour
- 2 tsp cinnamon powder
- 1 stick (½ cup) butter or margarine
- 6 dashes Angostura bitters
- 2 cups sugar
- ½ cup water
Method
- Mix flour, ginger, cinnamon, and butter in a large bowl.
- Mix evaporated milk, coconut cream, condensed milk, and Angostura bitters in a separate bowl.
- Pour the liquid mixture into the mixture of dry ingredients a little bit at a time. Mix until a dough forms. The dough should be "tough;" that is, not stretchy.
- Divide the dough into two balls. This makes it more manageable. Roll each ball out until about 1 cm thick.
- Cut dough into strips.
- Heat ½ cup of oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
- Fry batches of the kurma dough in the oil, turning often.
- Remove when golden brown on all sides.
- Heat sugar and water over medium heat.
- Stir so that sugar is completely wet.
- When the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is clear, remove from heat.
- Pour over kurma, and stir quickly to coat evenly.
