Instructions
-
1Mix flour, ginger, cinnamon, and butter in a large bowl.
-
2Mix evaporated milk, coconut cream, condensed milk, and Angostura bitters in a separate bowl.
-
3Pour 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.
-
4Divide the dough into two balls. This makes it more manageable. Roll each ball out until about 1 cm thick.
-
5Cut dough into strips.
-
6Heat ½ cup of oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
-
7Fry batches of the kurma dough in the oil, turning often.
-
8Remove when golden brown on all sides.
-
9Heat sugar and water over medium heat.
-
10Stir so that sugar is completely wet.
-
11When the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is clear, remove from heat.
-
12Pour over kurma, and stir quickly to coat evenly.
