쿨피

Indian frozen dessert

About this dish

Kulfi is a frozen dairy dessert from the Indian subcontinent. It is often described as "traditional Indian ice cream". Kulfi originated in 16th-century Delhi during the Mughal era. Kulfi is denser and creamier than regular ice cream. It comes in various flavours, traditionally almond, cardamom (elaichi), mango, pistachio, and saffron. Unlike ice cream, kulfi is not churned while being frozen, producing a denser final product which is considered a distinct category of frozen dairy-based dessert. The density of kulfi causes it to melt more slowly than ice cream.
