delicious sweet treats such as kulfi?

As per legend, a mixture of dense evaporated milk was already prevalent in the 16th century, but it was the Mughals who came up with a way to flavor this milk with pistachios and saffron, packed it into metal cones and froze it in ice, and that is how kulfi was born. Even the word kulfi comes from the Persian word kulfi meaning “covered cup”. Interesting, isn’t it? So now we know that Mughals didn’t just invent the rich and royal curries and kebabs but even delicious sweet treats such as kulfi ice Cream! 

This delightful dessert is prepared by cooking sweetened or flavored milk slowly, while stirring constantly, so the milk does not stick to the bottom. It is cooked until it is thickened and reduces by half. It also helps give kulfi a distinct flavor by caramelizing the sugar. The thickened milk is then poured into molds and frozen in ice. Nowadays people simply put it in the freezer, but in earlier times it was frozen in a vessel filled with salt and ice. The vessel was well insulated, protecting the Malai kulfi from outside heat and thus slowing the melting time of the ice.
