Who doesn’t love frozen desserts? Thandai Kulfi is a creamy concoction that has delicate fragrance and taste of traditional thandai and it’s frozen!
WHAT IS KULFI ?
Kulfi is the desi version to western ice cream and gelatos but it is usually made be cooking milk for a very long time, until it has reduced until very thick, then sweetened, flavored and frozen until firm which makes it a perfect Indian dessert for parties. With Holi festival around the corner, I decided to make this Kulfi using the Thandai Masala.
As you all know thandai is a very rich and tasty drink made with milk, various nuts, poppy seeds and spices. Thandai is significantly prepared for holi festival and mahashivratri. I have already shared thandai recipe here so here comes an easy thandai flavored kulfi recipe this year.
