Kulfi
Indian Ice Cream
"Kulfi is a traditional Indian ice cream. In India it is sold by street vendors called kulfiwallahs who keep the kulfi frozen by placing the moulds inside a large earthenware pot called a 'matka' filled with ice and salt. It is served on a leaf or frozen onto a stick. It can be garnished with pistachios, cardamom and similar. Often it is served as Falooda Kulfi which is kulfi with rice noodles, rose syrup and other ingredients."

"North Ki Rasoi Se" literally means from the North Indian kitchen. I write about my favourite recipes that remind me of my mom's cooking, popular street food in North India and some of my own experiments.
