how to make mango kulfi with detailed step-by-step photos.

Kulfi is a frozen milk-based dessert that tastes incredibly creamy and delicious. It is similar to the Indian version of ice cream. Kulfi is popular throughout India.
The kulfi recipe calls for whole milk, dried milk solids (khoya/mawa), condensed milk, sugar, cardamom, and nuts.

Mango kulfi is nothing but an addition of ripe mango pulp/puree to the classic kulfi. Kulfi has a solid, creamy, and dense texture which takes a longer time to melt.

Traditionally, the Kulfi
is prepared by simmering milk for hours over low heat until it is thickened and reduced to two-thirds of the quantity, then sweetened and flavored with other ingredients. Once the kulfi mixture is cooled down, it is poured into the molds and frozen for 12 hours or until it is set. The entire cooking procedure is done on slow cooking over low heat for a few hours.

Mango-flavored kulfi
 tastes irresistible. 
If you are fond of mango and ice cream, then I’m sure you will love this mouth-watering combo. This chilled dessert is ideal to prepare for the mango season.

Kulfi can be enjoyed any time of the year. There are numerous ways to make a kulfi recipe. The classic method is a slow-cooked version that tastes authentic but needs a lot of patience and time. Another method is an easy, quick & no-cook version which I will post it later.

How to make mango kulfi:


1. Pour 2 liters of milk into a heavy-bottomed pan.

2. Let the milk boil on a medium flame and keep stirring it often with a spatula to prevent milk from sticking to the bottom of the pan. (Note - It takes about 20 mins to boil, time depends on the quantity of milk).

3. When the milk starts to boil, the malai/cream forms up on top, stir it with a spatula and reduce the heat to the lowest setting.

4. Keep scraping the malai/cream on the sides of a pan with a spatula and let the milk reduces to two-thirds over low flame. (Note - This takes about 30 mins to 1 hr).

5. In the meantime, grate the khoya/mawa and keep it aside.

6. When the milk is reduced to two-thirds, start adding the khoya.

7. Combine it nicely until well blended and no lumps are formed.

8. Pour the condensed milk and blend it well.

9. Add the saffron-soaked in milk/water.

10. Let the mixture cook for 10 minutes over a low flame.

11. Turn off the stove once it reaches a thicker consistency. Let the kulfi mixture cool down.

12. In the meantime, wash, peel the mango skin and chop it into cubes.

13. In a blender, crush the mango chunks into puree/pulp without adding water.

14. Pour the mango pulp once the kulfi mixture is cooled down slightly. (Note - Do not add mango puree to the hot kulfi mixture as it will curdle and separate). 

15. Mix it nicely.

16. Now add the sliced pistachios/almonds.

17. Sprinkle 1/2 tsp of cardamom/elachi powder and mix it well. 

18. Allow the mango kulfi mixture to cool down completely. 

19. Pour the mango kulfi mixture into the molds. Garnish with nuts and saffron. (Note - You can use pots, paper cups, and stainless steel bowls if you do not have kulfi molds).

20. Cover it with aluminum foil to avoid icy crystallization on kulfi.

21. Freeze for 12 hours or until set.

22. Once the mango kulfi is set completely, remove them from their molds and enjoy it plain or top with some sliced mangoes and nuts if you like. 

(Note - To remove the mango kulfi from the mold, dip the kulfi mold in hot water for a second and remove it immediately. You can slice the kulfi with a knife and serve).
