KulKul recipe is a traditional Christmas-time goody prepared by Indian Catholics, especially popular in the Goan region, kulkuls are often known as kidiyo or kalkal.

They have become an integral part of the Christmas cookie exchange over time.

Some say that Kulkul may have originated from the Portuguese community as a variation of Filhoses Enroladas- a rose-like rolled pastry.
