Kulfi is a frozen dairy based dessert that is native to India and is popular in South Asia and Middle-East. Some of the traditional flavours are malai (cream), kesar (saffron), pista (pistachio), elaichi (cardamom), rose, mango and paan (betel leaf). Some of the modern flavours include strawberry, chocolate, etc. that my son remembers relishing at @barbequenation .

The very thought of kulfi takes me back to the streets of mumbai where the cart vendors used to sell long slender kulfis and my sister and I would enjoy them on our way back home from school… those were the good old days.👧👧

So, after a couple of disappointing trials, I came across instant malai kulfi recipe by @rimleed and it was a delight. It has just the perfect texture, taste and doesn’t melt too quickly. That’s exactly what I look for in kulfi.
