Kulfi (Indian Ice Cream)

Kulfi /kʊlfiː/ is a popular frozen dairy dessert from the Indian Subcontinent. It is often described as "traditional Indian Subcontinent ice cream".[1][2] It is popular throughout places such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Burma (Myanmar), and the Middle East, and widely available in Indian restaurants in Australia, Europe, East Asia and North America.
As popularly understood, Kulfi has similarities to ice cream in appearance and taste; however it is denser and creamier.[1][3] It comes in various flavours. The more traditional ones are cream (malai), rose, mango, cardamom (elaichi), saffron (kesar or zafran), and pistachio.
 There are newer variations such as apple, orange, strawberry, peanut, 
and avocado. Unlike Western ice creams, kulfi is not whipped, resulting 
in a solid, dense frozen dessert similar to traditional custard-based 
ice cream. Thus, it is sometimes considered a distinct category of 
frozen dairy-based dessert.[3] Due to its density, kulfi takes a longer time to melt than Western ice-cream.
==Trivia==
*Kulfi originated from the Mughal Empire which ruled in the 16th to 18th Century.
