MALAI KULFI RECIPE: Without Using Milk powder & Condensed Milk

Malai Kulfi is a delicious summer treat! Made with milk and is granulated in texture. It is a popular Indian dessert especially in summers though it's being enjoyed in winters also.

I have tried many types of recipes, but come up with this final recipe in which I have used only 2 ingredients i.e milk and sugar. I have also used nuts but its optional.

The specialty of this recipe is that it doesn't require any special ingredient like milk powder or condensed milk etc. Despite using milk and sugar we can get the granulated texture in our kulfi.

So let's jump to the recipe quickly.

MALAI KULFI- Without Using Milk powder & Condensed Milk:

Preparation Time: 5 mins
Cooking Time: 20-25 mins
Servings: 08 kulfis

Ingredients: (1 cup = 200ml)

Milk(full fat): 1 liter
Sugar: 1/2 cup
Mix Dry fruits(chopped): 1/4 cup
Milk masala: for garnishing

Method:
Step 1:

Take one thick bottom vessel, wash it properly, and then sprinkle some water into it.

Step 2:

Now add milk to the vessel, keep stirring the milk on medium flame.

After milk gets its first boil, keep mixing the formed malai and scraping on the inner wall of the vessel to the milk. These scraping and malai will bring the granulated texture to our kulfi.

Step 3:

When milk reduced to half, switch the flame on low. Add sugar and chopped nuts to the milk and again start stirring it. Again switch the flame on medium.

**We need to keep milk stirring, till it reduces to 1/3 in volume.

Step 4:

When milk becomes 1/3 in volume. Switch off the flame. Let the milk come to room temperature. Take 1 whisker and whisk the milk for at least 4-5 mins, so the formed granules of malai get mixed with the mixture.

How can we know that kulfi is done??

The mixture becomes 1/3 in volume.
when you insert a spoon or any kitchen tool, the mixture gets stick to it.

Step 5:

Pour the mixture into the kulfi moulds, cover the moulds, and keep it in the freezer for 8-9 hrs.

What if we don't have kulfi mould??

In this case, we need to take regular use of steel glass or disposable party glass.
Add mixture to it, cover them with a foil, and bind them with a rubber band at the edge. Make one slit on the top of the foil surface, insert the kulfi stick, and it's done. Keep it in the freezer for 7-8 hrs.

Step 6:

Take out the mixture from the freezer. Keep the mould in water for 30-40 secs, Rub the mould between your palms as a result kulfi can be taken out from mould easily.

Garnish with milk masala and Serve Cold.

Notes:

1. Don't boil milk below then 1/3 level, it becomes "Rabdi" otherwise.
2. Sugar quantity can be adjusted as per taste, though the given quantity is perfect for 1 lit of milk.

3. Cover the glass with foil before freezing otherwise ice will be formed in our kulfi.

4. Malai Kulfi Recipe is best served cold.
