Kulfi
Kulfi is a popular frozen dairy dessert from the Indian Subcontinent. It is often described as "traditional Indian Subcontinent ice cream". It is popular throughout places such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Burma (Myanmar), and the Middle East, and widely available in Indian restaurants in Australia, Europe, East Asia and North America.
As popularly understood, 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'' or ''zafran''), and pistachio. There are newer variations such as apple, orange, strawberry, peanut, and avocado. Unlike Western ice creams, kulfi is not whipped, resulting in a solid, dense frozen dessert similar to traditional custard-based ice cream. Thus, it is sometimes considered a distinct category of frozen dairy-based dessert.〔 Due to its density, kulfi takes a longer time to melt than Western ice-cream.
== History ==
The word "kulfi" is derived from the Persian word for a covered cup. The dessert likely originated in the Mughal Empire, in the 16th century. The mixture of dense evaporated milk was already popular in Hindu sweet dishes. During the Mughal period, this mixture was flavoured with pistachios and saffron, packed into metal cones and immersed in slurry ice, resulting in the invention of Kulfi. ''Ain-i-Akbari'', a detailed record of the Mughal emperor Akbar's administration, mentions use of saltpeter for refrigeration as well as transportation of Himalayan ice to warmer areas.
