Whether it’s summer or a special celebration, kulfi always wins hearts with its rich, creamy taste and refreshing chill. And when paired with rabri, it transforms into a decadent dessert loved by all ages. Let’s explore how to make this indulgent delight at home.
Ingredients:
For Kulfi:
- Full cream milk – 1 liter
- Condensed milk – 1/2 cup
- Sugar – 4-5 tablespoons (adjust to taste)
- Green cardamom powder – 1/2 teaspoon
- Saffron – 5-6 strands (soaked in a little warm milk)
- Cashews and pistachios – 2-3 tablespoons (finely chopped)
For Rabri:
- Full cream milk – 500 ml
- Sugar – 3 tablespoons
- Green cardamom powder – 1/4 teaspoon
- Saffron – 3-4 strands
- Pistachios and almonds – for garnish
Method:
- Thickening the Milk:
Pour milk into a heavy-bottomed pan and bring it to a boil on medium heat. Stir continuously to prevent sticking. Cook until the milk is reduced to half. - Adding Flavors:
Once the milk is thickened, add condensed milk, sugar, cardamom powder, and saffron. Stir well and cook for another 5 minutes. - Molding the Kulfi:
Mix in the chopped cashews and pistachios. Pour the mixture into kulfi molds and cover. Freeze for at least 6–8 hours. - Preparing the Rabri:
For rabri, simmer milk in a pan until it thickens. Add sugar, cardamom, and saffron. Allow it to cool before serving. - Serving:
Remove kulfi from the freezer and place it in small glasses or on plates. Top with chilled rabri and garnish with pistachios and almonds.
Tips:
- For extra creaminess, add 1/4 cup cream to the milk while making kulfi.
- Chill the rabri beforehand; it enhances the taste when served with kulfi.
