Kidyo, also known as Kulkul, Carambola, and Kormola, is a sweet dish traditionally prepared for Christmas as part of the Kuswar in Goa[1] and Mangalore[2], as well as among the East Indian community of Maharashtra.[3]

Kulkul is made from maida flour, milk and sometimes eggs, and shaped into the form of small shells and fried in ghee or oil.
