Ice Apple-Gulkand Matka Kulfi with Jaggery | Nungu-Gulkand Malai Kulfi recipe | Nungu Matka Kulfi
How to make Ice Apple Gulkand Matka Kulfi with Jaggery | Nungu Gulkand Malai Kulfi recipe | Nungu Matka Kulfi with detailed snaps and step-by-step procedure.
What else could be the best body coolant in this scorching summer more than the Ice apples and Gulkand (Rose Petal Jam)? Think of those natural jellies and the body-cooling homemade Gulkand getting indulged into a Malai Kulfi. Wow! It's amazing, right?! The taste would undoubtedly stand out of the world.
I don't recommend buying Gulkand from stores as most of the brands are
preserving rose petals in sugar. If buying from the shop, please make
sure the petals are soaked up in honey. The best option is to make the
homemade Gulkand for which the recipe is available in two versions in
Packthesnack. Please refer to my Homemade Gulkand post.
Also, we make our khoya to make the Malai which is instant and easy. For making homemade khoya, we use unsweetened milk powder. Having said that, the coconut milk powder can also be used. Addedly, I use cow's milk for the recipe and the full-fat milk can be preferred for more creamier Malai.
The prepared Malai can be poured into Matka (small earthen pots) to make Malai Matka kulfi. The same Malai can be poured into the disposal cups. While unmoulding, insert a stick in the centre and enjoy as Malai Kulfi with a stick.
What's so special about the recipe?
No Sugar:
We add no refined sugar in the Kulfi-making process. Instead, jaggery powder is used which enhances the taste and the health profile.
No Artificial Flavours:
Natural flavouring agents like Saffron, and cardamom powder plays a vital role in the Kulfi that gives a beautiful flavour and taste. And we add no artificial flavours here.
Fresh Ice Apples and Homemade Gulkand:
The freshly peeled & chopped ice apples along with the naturally preserved rose petals (Gulkand with honey) lift the taste up to the next level. And the healthiness added by them knows no bounds.
Health benefits of Ice Apples:
- An excellent body coolant.
- Cures stomach aches and digestive issues.
