Kuli-kuli is a Hausa food that is primarily made from peanuts. It is nicknamed "KK" among Higher institution students and "Sure" among the Yorubas. It is a popular snack in Ghana and Nigeria. It is often eaten alone or with a mixture of garri, sugar and water popularly called "garri soakings". It is also eaten with kooko,fula, kamu; and is sometimes ground and put into salad.
Ingredients:- 2 cups peanuts
- salt to taste

Directions:
1. Making the groundnut paste, or peanut butter (called luquie in Hausa) by shelling, roasting and grinding the nuts.
2. Removing excess peanut oil by kneading the paste to make tunkusa.
3. Forming small balls and frying them again to remove more oil (though Mohammed said his mother boiled the balls for the same reason, and the oil rose to the top).
4. After deepfrying the balls, pounding them in a mortar with a pestle to make another paste, which is seasoned with salt and rolled into thinner-than-pencil ropes that are joined together to form irregular circles, and then deepfried again until brown.
5. The final shapes are called kuli-kuli, though there are other versions, such as balls, also called by the name.
6 To serve, drain and serve cold as a snack or crushed on a salad.
