Kulfi



According to old beliefs, the Himalayan people used to have frozen dessert, made of cow milk, ice or snow, and several other ingredients. Later, during the Mughal Empire, the Mughals tasted this old form of the desert and loved it. They transported this to Delhi and make it richer and creamier by adding condensed milk, pistachios, cashews, and saffron. By this, kulfi got its flavour, colour, and better taste. The word ‘kulfi’ is derived from a Persian word that means ‘covered cup’. It is said that the recipe of kulfi was taken to Italy by Marco Polo.

Is Kulfi and Ice Cream Similar?

This is the first question that comes to mind of foodies. If you have tasted both, you will feel the difference. Ice cream is the fluffy version of kulfi, you can say. Many people think kulfi is made of whipped ice cream as it is quite dense. But, that’s not true. There are certain differences between these two most lovable desserts-

·        There is less air in kulfi than ice cream.

·        In case of kulfi, milk and cream are more concentrated.

·        As kulfi is denser than ice cream, it melts slowly.

These are the differences that make kulfi a completely Asian dessert. The countries, where kulfi is immensely popular are, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, and Nepal.
