Kulfi

Kulfi is a frozen dairy dessert and India's favourite ice cream. Kulfi is traditionally prepared by evaporating sweetened and flavoured milk by heating it on a low flame while stirring continuously to prevent the milk from sticking to the bottom of the vessel and burning, until its volume is reduced by half. This sweetened and reduced mixture is then put into kulfi moulds and frozen to make the super delicious kulfi. Kulfi is available is different flavours and some of the popular ones are malai, pista and mango. 

Kulfi has a distinct flavour and needless to say, all of us love it. It's summer in our neck of the woods, which is the perfect time for ice creams and frozen treats.
