ADVERTISEMENTS

Kulfi_Indian_Ice_Cream_1 Kulfi (Qulfi) is a popular Indian milk dessert, served frozen like ice cream. It is easy to prepare at home. Full milk is boiled and evaporated to half in volume. Then some nuts, sugar, some flavoring agents are added. Then it is frozen and served.

Here I have prepared saffron-cardamom flavored kulfi and rose flavored kulfi. As I used condensed milk, I did not add sugar.

Ingredients

  • Full milk – 1 litre
  • Condensed milk – 400 gram
  • Cashew nut – 15 to 20 no
  • Pistachio – ½ cup
  • Unsalted butter – 2 table spoon
  • Corn flour – 2 table spoon
  • Saffron strands – few
  • Cardamom powder – ½ tea spoon
  • Rose syrup – 1 table spoon

  • Dissolve corn flour in little milk and add in boiling milk; add condensed milk in the boiling milk; keep stirring for few minutes; add butter and mix; let this become little more thick and switch off gas.

Tips

  • To remove kulfi from mould, just hold below running water of the tap for few seconds. Now you can remove easily from the mould.
  • During summer, kulfi starts melting faster due to high room temperature.
  • Use wide, flat bottom, non stick pan to boil milk easily.

A wonderful desert…we used to get gulfis only at night time. When I hear the sound of the person selling gulfi I would just spring up from my bed. I have never got the same taste anywhere…even in big hotels….Hope ur preparation will bring back the taste in my mind and tongue :)
