Kulfi

It is the traditional Indian ice-cream. Kulfi has similarities to ice cream in appearance and taste, however it is denser and creamier. It comes in various flavours. The more traditional ones are cream (malai), rose, mango, cardamom (elaichi), saffron (kesar) and pistachio. 

I learnt this from Rupali’s cooking class and its quite simple.
