5 Unique Kulfi Recipes That Make For The Perfect Dessert
Tips for Making Malai Kulfi at Home:
- Always use an iron or aluminium kadai to make Kulfi.
- After the milk comes to a boil, cook it on low flame while stirring continuously.
- Remove the cream that accumulates on the sides of the pan and mix it into the milk.
- Boil the milk until it is less than half the amount of milk you started with.
- Some people use corn flour to thicken the Kulfi mixture, but you can also add extra malai and ground almonds for a nice texture.
- Let the mixture cool completely before pouring it into the Kulfi moulds.
- It takes 7 to 8 hours for the Kulfi to set completely, so don't open the refrigerator in between.
- To prevent ice crystals from forming, cover the Kulfi mixture with silver foil after pouring it into the mould or bowl. If you're freezing it in a bowl, mix it after 2-3 hours and cover it again.
How To Make Malai Kulfi At Home:
To make Malai Kulfi at home, pour 2 litres of milk into a pan and bring it to a boil. Simmer the milk for about 20 minutes until it's reduced to half. Then, add half a cup of sugar, malai, and almond powder and cook while stirring. Turn off the gas when the mixture thickens and let it cool completely. Pour the mixture into a Kulfi mould or bowl and let it set for 7-8 hours or overnight.
