Assorted Colourful Kulfi - The Favourite Ritual of Everyone after Meals

When summers are on with the temperature shooting high, kulfi brings the perfect happiness to mind, soul and of course our belly, so called tummy…Ha Ha Haaaa…..Isn’t it?  Kulfis are such dessert which is enjoyed by everyone right from kids to adults. Be it any occasion –wedding, birthday or family gathering, meals are always finished with super delicious kulfi and it is favorite ritual of everyone.

There are no such limitations in flavours.With one base of kulfi, you can prepare different varieties of kulfi. The base of the kulfi is prepared by reducing the full fat milk and then sweetened with sugar.  Some like to add solid milk or khoya for the grainy texture and some prepare with condensed milk. Here you can be the boss to select your version of kulfi base and flavor it with your choice.

I have chosen few flavors like- plain kulfi, rose kulfi, chocolate kulfi, pista kulfi and my daughter’s favorite color kulfi which is orange kulfi.

So let’s see how to make different flavors of kulfi.
