Kesar pista Kulfi recipe


Kesar pista kulfi recipe is a popular traditional Indian ice cream. I have already posted the kulfi recipe, this kesar pista kulfi i have given for Kungumam thozi magazine. This recipe got published last week. From my childhood i love to eat kulfis. We get from a local guy who used to bring this at night during sumer season. They serve the kulfi in banana leaf. Many times the guy who sells kulfi take banana leaf from our home as we have lot of banana tree at home. My grandmother used to scold him for taking it at night time as generally they won't give anything in night. Make this kesar pista kulfi for kids and let them enjoy their summer with this traditional Indian ice cream. Check out my mango kulfi recipe too.

  • Also keep the flame very low.
  • Add the coarsely ground pista sugar mixture too.

Notes:
  1. Instead of corn flour you can add 1/4 cup of milkmaid too.
  2. After adding corn flour keep the flame low and stir continuously, else it will stick to the bottom and get burnt.
  3. Instead of pista you can add badam too.
