Mango Kulfi Recipe | Mango Recipes

Mango Kulfi I guess there are hardly any one whom doesn't like it. Kulfi or khulfi is popular diary Indian Dessert. Kulfi is known as Indian ice cream, it looks and taste similar to ice cream too only it's dense and creamier and popular kulfi flavors are malai, mango, cardamom, saffron and pista. I followed here traditional way of making kulfi i.e evaporating milk by slow cooking. You can directly add evaporated milk to reduce cooking time too.

Kulfi always reminds me of the street hawkers coming only during late evening and night to sell malai kulfi in a tri-cycle or cart with ringing a huge bell, available in different size and price those kulfi to eat after dinner is such a pleasure, I still look forward to have kulfi at night whenever I'm at Chennai and seriously nothing beats having kulfi from street hawkers than any expensive restaurant. As we all love mango having it in kulfi form is another treat.

These kulfi was exactly like we get in restaurant with street hawkers, the texture little grainy yet smooth with delicious blend of mango, cardamom and saffron. Try to add fresh mango pulp and freshly crushed cardamom for the extra flavor nothing beats fresh ingredients. There is only one word for these kulfi that is 'delicious'. Make this easy kulfi and relish along with family and friends.
