✨🍨 This isn’t just a recipe, it’s a scoop of nostalgia💌 this traditional malai kulfi is dense, creamy, and slow-melting, just like the kulfiwalas we grew up loving 😋

💛Ingredients (Serves 6–8)

  • Full-cream milk – 1½ liters 🥛

  • Sugar – ½ cup (adjust to taste)

  • Milk powder – 3 tbsp (for extra richness)

  • Cornflour – 1 tbsp (optional, helps creaminess)

  • Khoya / mawa – ½ cup (crumbled)

  • Cardamom powder – ½ tsp 🌼

  • Saffron strands – 10–12 (soaked in warm milk) ✨

  • Almonds – 2 tbsp (chopped) 🌰

  • Pistachios – 2 tbsp (chopped) 💚

  • Cashews – 1 tbsp (optional)

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Method

1️⃣ Reduce the Milk (The Heart of Kulfi)

  • Pour milk into a heavy-bottom pan

  • Boil on medium heat, then simmer on low 🔥

  • Stir every 2–3 minutes to avoid burning

  • Reduce till milk becomes thick and almost half
    👉 This slow reduction gives kulfi its signature taste

2️⃣ Add Richness

  • Add milk powder and mix well

  • Add crumbled khoya and stir till smooth

  • Keep cooking on low flame
    👉 Texture should now look creamy & glossy ✨

3️⃣ Sweeten & Flavor

  • Add sugar and mix till fully dissolved

  • Add cardamom powder and saffron milk 🌼

  • Cook for 5–7 minutes more
    👉 Aroma should feel warm, royal, and comforting 💛

4️⃣ Thicken Perfectly

  • Mix cornflour with 2 tbsp cold milk

  • Add slowly while stirring continuously

  • Cook till mixture coats the spoon thickly
    👉 Don’t overcook—kulfi thickens more when frozen

5️⃣ Add Nuts

  • Add chopped almonds, pistachios & cashews 🌰

  • Mix gently and turn off the flame

  • Let mixture cool completely ❄️

🧊 Freezing the Kulfi

  • Pour mixture into kulfi molds / cups / matkas

  • Cover with foil or lid

  • Freeze for 6–8 hours or overnight
    👉 No stirring needed—kulfi is meant to be dense

🍽️ Serving Tips

  • Dip molds briefly in warm water

  • Unmold gently

  • Garnish with chopped nuts & saffron ✨

  • Serve chilled and enjoy that slow-melting magic 😋🍨
