Matka Gulkand Kulfi (Indian Style Ice-Cream)

        Kulfi is an equivalent to Indian ice-cream. They are basically frozen dessert prepared with milk and other flavoring agents. They are just perfect during hot summer days or as an after-meal dessert. 

          Today I would like to share a kulfi with gulkand (rose petals jam) flavour and served in a matka / clay kulfi moulds. Hence the name Matka Gulkand Kulfi. I have added some store bought pedas for a creamy texture. To prepare this absolutely easy and delicious chilled dessert, check out the step by step pictorial recipe to prepare it.

• 2 & 1/2 cups full cream milk
• 2-3 pedas (sweets), crumbled
• 1-2 tbsp. chopped cashews / mixed nuts
• 1-2 tbsp. gulkand / rose petals jam
• 1/4 tsp. cardamom powder
• chopped almonds, saffron & rose petals to garnish

          Bring the milk to a boil. Add the crumbled pedas, nuts, gulkand and cardamom powder. Mix everything well and simmer on a medium flame for 4-5 minutes.

          Add rose water when done and pour into matkas / clay kulfi moulds. You can also use normal kulfi moulds. 

           Cover them with aluminum foil. Freeze till it is set. Serve chilled, garnished with almonds saffron and rose petals.

                                  Crumble the pedas.

                                  Bring milk to a boil.
