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.
