NIGERIAN KULI KULI - 150g

Kuli kuli is a popular, crunchy West African snack originating from Northern Nigeria, made primarily from peanuts (groundnuts) that are roasted, ground into a paste, and have their oil extracted. The remaining solids are seasoned—often with ginger, chilli, and salt—moulded into shapes, and deep-fried in peanut oil.

Key Facts About Kuli Kuli:
