For a long time I have been trying to learn how to make traditional kulfi at home. Recently while reading a new cookbook, I came across this recipe and to my surprise it came out so well. I can’t tell you in words how awesome it turned out to be.
Traditionally Kulfi is made by heating whole fat milk over a long period of time which gives it a unique flavor. Pistachios, Saffron, Cardamom are also added to it which gives a nutty flavor.
