How to make Mango Kulfi

    Sprinkle some cardamom powder on the seed for added flavor.

  4. Step 4

    In a pan, reduce the milk to one-third of its original quantity by simmering it on low heat. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

    Once the milk has reduced, turn off the heat and let it cool completely.

  6. Step 6

    Take the mangoes out of the freezer and pour the thickened milk inside them. Cover the mangoes with the top part you set aside earlier.

FAQS

  1. Can I use canned mango pulp instead of fresh mangoes?

    Fresh mangoes are recommended for this recipe as they provide the best flavor and texture. However, you can use canned mango pulp if fresh mangoes are not available.

  2. How long does the kulfi need to freeze?

    The mango kulfi needs to freeze for about 7-8 hours to set properly.

  3. Can I use condensed milk instead of milk powder?

    Yes, you can substitute milk powder with condensed milk, but adjust the sugar quantity as condensed milk is already sweet.

  4. What can I use if I don't have cardamom powder?

    You can skip the cardamom powder or replace it with a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a different flavor.

  5. How do I ensure the mango doesn't break while removing the seed?

    Be gentle while rotating the mango and use a small knife to carefully separate the seed without damaging the mango's flesh.
