Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the jaggery added after cooking instead of during boiling?

Jaggery added to boiling milk can make it curdle. Letting the milk cool slightly and blending the jaggery in at the end keeps the kulfi smooth.

How do I take kulfi out of the moulds?

Freeze it for 6 to 8 hours until set, then roll the mould between your palms or dip it in warm water for a few seconds and pull it out.
