Mango Kulfi


Kulfi is traditional Indian ice cream. It is very easy to make that we don't even need electric ice cream maker to make it. Traditional kulfi is made in earthenware cones but we can make it in our home freezer too. In India , still traditional kulfi sellers come door to door with their traditional earthenware pot of kulfi on hand carts.

INGREDIENTS

1 tbsp unflavored gelatin
4-5 tbsp hot water
2 ripe mango's pulp
½ liter whole milk
½ cup milk powder
¼ cup sugar / sugar free
1 tsp cardamom powder
Handful chopped nuts ( almonds + pistachios )
15-20 raisins

METHOD

Take a bowl with hot water and add gelatin. Allow to dissolve it in water.
Now take milk & milk powder in a deep heavy bottomed vessel. Mix them well and bring to boil. Add sugar or sugar free in that vessel. Now reduce the heat to medium low and cook for 10-12 min or until mixture gets thick. After that turn off the heat and let it cool for approx 1 hr.
Now add dissolved gelatin, mango pulp and cardamom powder in the mixture. Mix them well and transfer this mixture in a freezer container.
Place this container in freezer until mixture is half frozen. Remove this mixture from freezer and blend in blender or processor until it becomes smooth. Now repack in individual molds or bowl and freeze again until half frozen but, still smooth & creamy. Mango kulfi is ready. Garnish with chopped nuts & raisins and serve chilled.
