Instant Kulfi Malai in 5 mins | মালাই কুলফি ৫ মিনিটেই
No Breadcrumbs.
No Cornflour.
No Khoya/Mawa.
No Rice flour is needed.
Creamy aromatic Kesar Malai Kulfi enriched with dry fruits, flavoured with precious Saffron is all I need right now! I love my Malai Kulfi mildly sweet and the added freshness from sprinkled pista on top seems like an ideal deal in this scorching heat.
Kulfi is an Indian style no churn ice-cream which is extremely creamy and enriched with nuts & saffron. The main trick of making this Malai Kulfi is cooking the milk for longer hours on low flame by constant stirring which is extremely tedious & tiring job in this scorching heat pf Indian Summer.
But my Homemade Instant Malai Kulfi Mix is a total life saver. I prepare the mixture in just 1 minute & make kulfi anytime I want without any cooking. This Kesar Pista Kulfi Mix doesn’t need any cornflour or bread or khoya/mawa or rice flour to thicken Kulfi mixture at all.
