Marbles|Guliyos|Manglorean Kushwar

Guliyo or Mangalorean Kushwar is a Christmas sweet that Catholic people in Goa and Mangalore make during Christmas festival. Christmas is incomplete without these sweet marbles as they are traditional Mangalorean sweet. It has a very mild sweet taste and bit hard from outside which makes it crunchy.We can store this delicacy in an airtight container and it doesn’t get spoiled for 20 days.
Every dish has a small story with it. This dish(marbles) bring back to me some nostalgic childhood memories. Every year during Xmas time I used to wait for two things one was firecrackers other was Frieda aunty’s Christmas snacks. Freida aunty was my neighbour. She was expert in these Christmas snacks. Those days we use to not get these homemade snacks in the market. Marbles were always present in Freida aunty’s Xmas sweets.
