Kuli-Kuli is a Hausa food that is primarily made from peanuts. It is a popular snack in Ghana and Nigeria. It is often eaten alone or with a mixture of garri, sugar and water popularly called "garri soakings". It is also eaten with kooko, fula, kamu; and is sometimes ground and put into salad.
To make Kuli-kuli, peanuts are roasted and then ground into a paste. The paste is then mixed with spices, salt, and sometimes ground pepper. The paste is stripped of excess oil with water, and made into the desired shape (round balls, cylinders, etc.). The oil removed in this process is then heated and used to fry the shaped peanut paste until it solidifies. It is then removed from the oil and allowed to cool down until ready to be eaten.
I love kuli-kuli. Used to eat it in Cameroon all the time :)
