Kulfi is a Summer Delight. Kulfi is an Indian frozen dessert that is just like ice creams, however, it is more dense and creamier. It is traditionally prepared by evaporating milk and sugar until it thickens and to make it more appetizing, the most delicious flavors are added to the milk ranging from fruits, nuts, and dry fruits. Then this flavored milk is sealed into moulds and frozen for few hours. Later, Kulfi is garnished with saffron, cardamom, and pistachios before serving. Kids are enjoying their summer holidays, playing all day with friends, visiting Grandparents house, but the rising temperatures in India can cause fatigue and exhaustion. What else can be better than Kulfi to beat the scorching heat of summer? So, I have brought you some cool and easy Kulfi recipes made in a traditional way with some easily available ingredients.
