(GT) The thousands of Israelis who congregate in Goa each season come from a highly charged political cauldron in the Middle East, many have just finished the arduous and soul-wrenching military service that's required of all youth. They've come to Goa to blow off steam, to unwind, to escape; this partly explains their reputation for arrogance and clannishness. Up to now, we Goans have barely understood this rapidly growing Israeli sub-culture on our soil, and the Israelis have collectively shown no interest in the place where so many of them congregate year after year. -- V M de Malar in Herald 'Hanukkah under coconut palms' --------------------------------------------------------- SPORTS: --------------------------------------------------------- o Four states vote for increase in National Football League. 20 others say no.

These are deep-fried sugar-coated curls called: Kulkuls Freshly squeezed juice of 1 coconut or 1 coconut milk can, 2 eggs, 1/2 kg flour, 1 teaspoon salt Method: Knead the flour and eggs, coconut milk and salt into a ball of dough. Cover with a damp cloth and leave for some time. Then roll out the dough and cut into strips and them into small squares. Form into kulkuls by rolling the squares into curls off the back of a fork (they can also be shaped into twists). Deep fry the kulkuls. The next day make a thick sugar syrup (for a kilo of kulkuls, use ΒΌ kilo sugar). Throw in the kulkuls, stir until well coated and dry. Remove and store in an airtight container. Here is another version: Kulkuls: 500 g. maida (flour), 1/2 cup coconut juice, 1 tablespoon butter, 2 eggs, 3 or 4 cardamoms (powdered), Sugar to taste and oil for frying. Mix all the ingredients and cook over a slow fire till a soft dough has formed. Cool, knead and take small marble-like portions, roll over the back of a fork and deep fry till golden brown. ------------------------------------------------------------------- ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ||g |||o |||a |||n |||e |||t || Issue compiled by ||__|||__|||__|||__|||__|||__|| Frederick Noronha |/__\|/__\|/__\|/__\|/__\|/__\| [EMAIL PROTECTED] Copyleft Goanet 2005 http://www.creativecommons.org You may reproduce this ezine in its entirety, with credits retained. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Goanet, the net-worker of all networks.
