Written by Jayashree

Kulfi is a popular frozen dessert from Indian sub-continent. It is loved by kids and adults alike.

Kulfi is a popular frozen dessert from Indian sub-continent. It was first made in the 16th century and since then it is still the pride of our country.  Initially, it was available only with the street vendors but with time, all major brands are producing kulfi along with other frozen treats. It is the cousin of ice-cream.

Kulfi is denser than ice-cream. It is not whipped as in an ice-cream. It is referred to as Indian Ice cream by many people.

Kulfi is made by boiling the milk and sugar, constantly stirring to avoid sticking to the pan. It is made in different flavours. The popular ones pista, kaju kishmish, mango, rose and strawberry.

Today, I am sharing the traditional kulfi which I keep making often. I like the rich taste that it imparts. The only drawback is the time that it needs. You can set it to boil while cooking or when you are doing other errands in the kitchen. It needs time and attention, we need to be there but can  be equipped in another work too. Secondly, it needs constant stirring.I find it better to put a small plate in it which avoids spilling.

Like this simple kulfi recipe as it does not need khoya or condensed milk. So tempting, wish I could have one right away.
