Come summer season and we start craving for all kinds of refreshing drinks and frozen desserts. One of them is our all-time favourite kulfi – the decadent frozen dessert which is rich & creamy and comes in myriad flavours from malai, blueberry, mango, gulkand, chocolate, cardamom, pistachio, almond to kesar, with endless scope for experimentation.

It is said that the sweet delicacy emerged from the kitchens of the Mughals and the word kulfi originated from the Persian qulfi meaning covered cup. Denser and creamier than the regular ice-cream, in Mughal era kulfi was made with condensed milk and flavoured with saffron and pistachio, poured into metal cones and immersed in slurry ice. What is believed to give kulfi its distinct taste is the slow cooking of sweetened milk which also caramelises the sugar.
Considering the mercury is already on rise in many parts of the country, it is the right time to make homemade flavourful kulfi to satiate those sweet cravings. Chef Kunal Kapur who keeps sharing easy-to-make recipes on his Instagram handle recently showed us how to make the delightful dessert with easily available ingredients and in a few simple steps.
