matka kulfi recipe | malai kulfi recipe | matka kesar pista kulfi with step by step photo and video recipe. since the inception of kulfi recipes, there has been many variations and varieties of this indian ice cream. popularly, the kulfi recipes are prepared using the kulfi mould which helps to give a cylindrical cone shape to it. but in this recipe, earthen matka’s are used to shape and hence referred as matka kulfi recipe.

traditionally kulfi recipes are always prepared by evaporating thick sweetened and flavoured milk. this evaporated milk is later chilled in kulfi moulds or kulfi matkas to have the proper shape. but there are many easy recipes which even does not require a gas stove or even evaporation. one of the easier ways is to boil the milk in a low flame to which mawa and breadcrumbs are added to attain a thick consistency. the other no-cook method is to prepare it with condensed milk and thickened the cooking cream. i have prepared the mango kulfi in a no-cook way you can prepare the matka kulfi with the same steps. however, i personally like the traditional way by a slow cooking method with evaporated thick milk for creamy malai kulfi.

furthermore, some important tips and considerations while preparing matka kulfi or malai kulfi recipe. firstly, i would heavily recommend using full cream milk for this recipe as it is creamier and thicker compared to skim milk. moreover, the evaporation step can be time-consuming and you may have to patiently stir and scrap the edges till it reduces to one third. secondly, if you do not have the matka’s or even kulfi moulds, you can use plastic cups, or glasses to shape the kulfi. lastly, ensure to cover the top portion of matkas or glasses while the kulfi is freezing. otherwise, moisture may accumulate at the top and may have a hard top layer.
