To me, Kuli Kuli is sacred; it’s not something I would ever attempt to make in my own kitchen. I am fortunate enough to have direct access to Kuli Kuli as I need it (Thanks MUM!!!). If you are adventurous enough to attempt kuli kuli in your kitchen, here is a video by the lovely Ms Yetti of Afro Food TV.
Hello Ronke, I know this is a really old post (so sorry) but I hope you see this and I get a reply. Permit me to say how much of a HUMONGOUS fan I am lol! I absolutely adore you and everything you do, kudos and keep up the fantastic work!
I wanted to ask about the caloric content of Kuli kuli, I believe it’s fried so can’t be that healthy right? I received a huge delicious batch from my aunt God help me! Hope u can help, thank you in advance!
Good morning 9jafoodie,i know this is an old post but please I need your help. After rolling out the peanut butter for frying it scatters into the oil, please what is my error.
Thank you.
Hello.. You most likely didn’t remove all the oil from the peanut butter.
Hi, I know this is an old post but I have having trouble making my own kuli kuli. It disintegrates in the oil and I even try using an oven but it came out still soft. Any suggestion would be quite helpful.
Are you using roasted groundnut or peanut butter?
Hi Naijafoodie, I know this is an old post… I’ve been trying to find out..
Is kulikuli fattening or healthy to eat? I love to snack on it and I need to know how much is too much. I’m always sort of on a diet. its struggle to keep my weight down.
Love love love your blog.
Kulikuli is just like groundnut, it’s nutritious but very high in fat. One or two at a time is probably all should have if you are watching your weight.
Okay ive seen the video to make kuli kuli. Im obviously not nigerian but I need this to make Suya. I have been in nigeria when I was younger. I love “Suya” and have tried to make it over the years but have not come close. I substituted peanut butter for kuli kuli, I had good results but I know its not close to how the hausa’s made them.
I have questions:
1. Do I have to add water too to dust with the meat?
2. I pressume I need dry hot pepper – Does it matter what type of pepper?
3. Is ginger needed to make kuli kuli or do I just add it when dusting the meat?
1) No you don’t
2) No it does not matter
3) No, just when dusting the meat
Any one can tell me where to buy kuli kuli if its avaiable? I m from NY
Please somebody answer this question.
Your local African store maybe?
Queen Amina was a NIGERIAN queen, not a NORTH AFRICAN princess. Zaria, Nigeria, is located in West Africa, how could the queen be from North Africa??? It’s a shame when you can’t even get your facts right!!!
You guys should stop calling Nigeria Naija or 9ja!! You don’t know how disgusting that sounds!!!
Different strokes for different folks i guess
Good morning 9jafoodie, please i dont know why my kuli kuli scatters on fire while frying. Should i mould and fry immediately after kneading it or should i wait for all the oil to dry off the peanut butter because am using roasted groundnut.
really disgusting? are u Nigerian? bcos it will be really weird if you are, I grew up hearing “naija”…even the older generation say “naija/9ja”
lol…. don’t sweat it Ruth, people will be people.

it was nice to see this nice video of how to make kuli kuli, i would like to see more of some other food, so i can show to my friends in the western world :)
I bought some peanut flour from amazon uk recently to make peanut butter. I will definately be trying this, i have no potash but will try with baking soda
Thanks for sharing the video. I definitely want to learn to make Kuli-Kuli.
Happy New Year to you. May 2013 be even more fulfilling and prosperous than all the past years. Cheers!
Happy New Year boo.. wishing you the best of 2013!!!
Hahaha. The last time I had Kuli-Kuli was probably late last year or earlier this year. It was good though, with some cold garri. Haha :) I always thought it was made from beans not peanut butter…? Hmm
I actually enjoy Ms. Yetti’s videos on YouTube! :)
lol… beans? hahhahaah…. they are made with roasted peanuts
Good evening my boss
I know this post is really old but please I just wanted to know why my kuli gets burnt while I’m frying it even when I get on low heat and semi hot oil .
