In hot summers in Pakistan and India, kulfi, which is a frozen Pakistan and Indian dessert, is in
high demand. I still remember Kulfi (the Kulfi
seller) carrying a large earthen pot on his head and selling it from house to
house.
During the warmer months of April
and May, we would always stop and ask for a key. He would take the key out of
the molds and cut it into large serving leaves. In those days there were no
plastic plates and hence eco-friendly.
Now the shopkeepers here will offer
us kulfi phaloda (corn starch vermicelli), vegetable seeds, and
rose syrup. They had a variety of keywords and I was always confused about
which one to call.
As a family, kulfi was a favorite
dessert. That's why not only my mother used to make different types of locks
but my father also used to take mixed locks from the nearest locksmith shop on
his way home from work. So it is up to the family to prepare and present the
key.
There are several ways to make a
key. It is traditionally made from condensed milk to rubbish. It can also be
made with condensed milk.
Here, as mentioned above, I have
added Khoya (Mawa). Lost milk is full of vapor and gives the kulfi
a lot of flavor and taste.
This keychain recipe is very simple
and does not take much time. I have added pistachios and almonds as nuts. But
then you can add your favorite dried fruits like cashews and raisins.
Try this recipe and you will love it
because of its simplicity, simplicity, and excellent
taste and texture.

How to make Kulfi Recipe
with Khoya?
Preparation
- 1. Heat the
milk in a wide pan or skillet over low heat for at least 18 to 20 minutes.
During this time the milk will become less and thicker.
- 2. Dissolve
rice flour or corn starch in 3 tablespoons of milk. Mix very well. Set aside I
prefer rice flour over corn starch to thicken the kulfi because it gives a
creamy texture.
- 3. Grind the
khoya or crush it well. There should be no large lumps or lumps. Powder the
pistachios and almonds in a dry grinder or mortar pastel on a semi-fine
consistency. Put them both aside.
- 4. After 18 or
20 minutes, add sugar to the milk and stir well. Also, scrape off the milk
solids from the sides and add them to the boiling milk.
- 5. When the
sugar dissolves and after 3 to 4 minutes add rice flour paste or corn starch
paste. Add rice flour paste and keep stirring so that no lumps form. You have
to keep stirring for a few minutes until the milk thickens. Just break them
with a spatula or spoon if you see small lumps.
- 6. After 4 to 5
minutes, when the mixture thickens, add crushed mawa / khoya, crushed almonds +
pistachios, and cardamom powder.
- 7. Stir well
and simmer on low heat for one or two minutes. Keep stirring so that the lost
milk is evenly distributed.
- 8. Turn off the
flame. Add water or rose water and crushed saffron.
- 9. Allow the
mixture to cool. Then pour the mixture into lock molds or serving cups or trays
or shot glasses. Scrape off the milk solids from the sides and put them in the
glass.
- 10. Cover with
lids or aluminum foil and store in the freezer until set.
- 11. Once the key is set properly, remove the key by sliding the butter knife over the edges. You can also rub the mold or glass between your palms or take it out quickly by dipping it in some warm water. Remove to a plate. Cut into pieces and serve immediately. You can also serve the kulfi directly in serving bowls or glasses. You can also add it to the leftovers.

Tips For Homemade Kulfi
Is Kulfi healthier than ice cream?
Popular in Pakistan and India, Kulfi is a healthier version of ice cream, with the exception of eggs and preservatives that favor only milk, sugar, and natural flavors. They also leave out the amazing addition of air, which makes Corina's ice cream richer and more creamy than regular dairy desserts, while prolonging its frozen quality.
What's the difference between Kulfi and ice cream?
Unlike ice
cream, kulfi is not whipped, resulting in a solid, dense dessert like frozen
custard. As such, it is sometimes considered a separate category of dessert
based on frozen dairy. The density of ice cream melts it more slowly than ice
cream.
Why is salt added or mixed in kulfi?
Adding salt
lowers the freezing temperature of the water and for winter roads, this means
that the water will not freeze so easily. For our ice cream and ice cream, it
allows the mixture to cool around the ice cream and ice cream.
Why is my kulfi not freezing?
Mix
everything in a blender and freeze. I know people add bread, etc. to make sure
there are no ice crystals on the ice, but I think the key is that the milk has
a really thick consistency. Once the milk is really thick, there will be no ice
and the ice cubes will freeze completely.
