Kulfi

According to old beliefs, the Himalayan people used to have frozen dessert, made of cow milk, ice or snow, and several other ingredients. Later, during the Mughal Empire, the Mughals tasted this old form of the desert and loved it. They transported this to Delhi and make it richer and creamier by adding condensed milk, pistachios, cashews, and saffron. By this, kulfi got its flavour, colour, and better taste. The word ‘kulfi’ is derived from a Persian word that means ‘covered cup’. It is said that the recipe of kulfi was taken to Italy by Marco Polo.
