Kulfi ( Mawa and Mango Flavour)

I know its winter time and not the perfect season to have kulfi.... but how can you stop yourselves from having kulfi in any season, Yes i still had a reason to make it as it was Aswin's b'day and this is one of those recipes he asks me to make irrespective of any ocassion, season or time..... so here i'm putting up a step by step recipe to make mawa kulfi and mango kulfi.

Usually after boiling the milk almost to half the quantity, people usually add condensed milk to get the thickness. But here i am using a more traditional method by adding khoya/mawa to make it more creamy and thick.

PREP TIME	COOK TIME	TOTAL TIME
20 mins	45 mins	1 hr 5 mins

Serves:-  5-6
INGREDIENTS:-

• Whole Milk / Buffalo Milk:- 1 and 1/2 ltr.
• Khoya/Mawa - 170 gms
• Sugar - 1 cup (add more if required)
• Pistachios, Almonds, Cashews - for garnishing
• Saffron - a pinch
• Mango Puree - 8 -7 tablespoon ( add more if required) 

METHOD:- 

• First take the milk in a clean deep pan/pot. Make sure the vessel you use is washed well or else the milk will curdle.
  
• Boil the milk and keep stirring throughout. Continue boiling it on medium or low heat.
• See to it that the milk doesn't burn, or else it will impart bitter taste.
• Bring down the quantity of milk to half by continuously stirring it and simultaneously keep getting the cream that settles to the sides of the pan to the milk.
• You will see that the milk starts becoming thick and creamy.
• Add the required sugar to the milk. Add the sugar little by little as the milk will also leave out its sweetness, Add only the required quantity.
• Once you have achieved the desired consistency add the khoya/ Mawa to the milk.
• I got frozen mawa here so I had to defrost the packet in warm water for 5 mins and it was a cube so I had to powder it with my hands. 
  
• Add this mawa by powdering it with your hands and stir continuously. Add a pinch of saffron to this.
• Once the mawa is mixed well in the milk take it off the flame and pour the milk in two different bowls equally.
• In one bowl mix the required amount of mango pure and stir it well.
  
• Add the chopped pistachios, almonds and cashews to both the bowls and leave it for cooling.
  
• Once it cools down pour the this mixture into the moulds you have or any bowl and freeze it for 6-7 hours and serve your mawa and mango kulfi chilled!!!
