GINGER WINE
Ginger Wine is also known as OT or the ‘OTHER THING’ – the temperance drink for teetotalers. In the olden days, temperance drinks were not only seen as delicious non- alcoholic tipple, but were also thought to have health benefits. Ginger wine was advocated as a good digestive and for soothing nausea but also good for sore throats and colds.
(Ginger Wine and other temperance drinks were actually served in special Temperance Bars in the early 20th century. These Temperance Bars advocated abstinence from alcohol, often asked their patrons to sign a no-booze pledge and renounce the demon drink!)

Its called as achu Murukku in Southern Region of India and called as Rosette Cookies in Scandinavia. It’s also a famous Anglo Indian sweet but it’s also a traditional sweet of Swedish, Norwegian region also made in Turkey, Malaysia, Srilanka and Mexico apart from India.
Kulkuls, a great sweet to prepare with the family, are made all over India at Christmastime. They are most popular in the Goan region and may have come from the Portuguese community as a variation of Filhoses Enroladas, a rose-like rolled pastry. Kulkuls are often called kidyo in the Konkani language, which means worms. That's not very appetising, so it's more appealing to think of them as shells or curls.
