Malai Kulfi, Easy Malai Kulfi | How to make Malai Kulfi Recipe

March 17, 2016 by maria 16 Comments

Welcome Summers by eating Malai Kulfi 🙂 Malai Kulfi made instantly at home. I can eat them any season. In childhood days, mom used to take me and sis to Girgaon Chowpatty Mumbai. There we used to eat kulfis served with falooda.

Malai Kulfi, Easy Malai Kulfi | How to make Malai Kulfi Recipe

For some reason, I used to just eat kulfi and no falooda till date I just enjoy kulfi but not with falooda. Also, we used to enjoy pio wala who use to sell kulfis on a leaf. Hmm was missing kulfis hence made a home that too of 3 different kinds one malai kulfi, second pistachio kulfi and third paan kulfi.

I have posted a few recipes of kulfis on my blog. But this kulfi is special why? I’ll reply because Malai Kulfi is made instantly, easy to make, no fuss of cooking for a long time, no complication and result are yummy kulfi. Traditional kulfis are made without condensed milk and modern kulfis are made with condensed milk so mine is modern one.

Malai Kulfi

As I a child I used to think what is the difference between kulfi v/s icecream.But now I know icecream is churned, icecream maker Or eggs are used for icecream. Whereas kulfis are made with full cream milk it’s cooked until thick and reduced. Later sugar, nuts, saffron, rose water etc are added to make it more richer. Hope you are clear with the difference do add if I have missed on something.

Instructions
  1. Boil milk on low heat in a wide bottomed pan. Once the milk has reached it’s boiling point i.e. when milk completely comes high. Switch off the gas at this point.

  3. Now add condensed milk, cream, cardamom powder, kewra essence, rose water, salt and all toasted chopped nuts.

Notes
1. I have added less condensed milk as I prefer less sweet so add as per preference.[br]2. Nuts are optional but it gives a great taste.[br]3. Ensure you heat milk on low fire else it will get burnt.[br]4. If kewra essence isn’t available you could replace with almond essence.
