Matka Kulfi recipe | Caramel Kulfi recipe with step wise pictorial and video method.

“Matka” is a Hindi word for “Earthen Pot” and “kulfi” is an Indian dessert made with milk and sugar.

The texture of kulfi is much denser and creamier than ice cream.

There are many variations of making kulfi and the most common method is to make it by evaporating the milk.

If talking about shape, kulfi is mostly  freezed in the cylindrical shaped moulds.

But matka Kulfi is frozen in earthen pots and that’s why it is called as matka Kulfi.

As far as the recipe is concerned, don’t think that for making a matka Kulfi, you need a kulfi recipe which is altogether different and specifically designed for matkas.

The kulfi is called matka only because it is frozen in earthen pots.

There’s another variety of matka Kulfi as well in which kulfi base is poured in Conical moulds and then put in a very big sized earthen pot with salt and ice. The pot is then shaken till kulfi is set. This kulfi is surely available at the ice cream shops and even some cart vendors do sell in, but when it comes to making matka Kulfi at home, it is only the pots in which kulfi base is directly poured and then freezed.

If you are thinking that you don’t have a kulfi base, so you can’t make this recipe, then it’s wrong. You need not to have matkas compulsorily and it can be frozen in kulfi moulds or even in any freezer friendly box.

Further, you can call it caramel kulfi as well because the base of the kulfi was prepared by using caramelized sugar.

So go ahead and enjoy this delicacy…

STEP WISE PICTORIAL RECIPE OF MATKA KULFI RECIPE | CARAMEL KULFI RECIPE

2. When the milk is slightly warm, take out about half cup of milk in a bowl and leave rest of the milk to boil.

3. Mix 2 tbsp of corn flour in that half cup of milk and keep aside.

4. When the milk begins to boil, add 4 tbsp of milk powder and mix well so that no lumps should form.

5. Let the milk simmer on moderate heat till it comes to 3/4th of the total milk. Keep stirring at intervals and scratch the sides in incorporate malai in the milk.

6. Take another non stick pan and spread 1 cup of sugar in it.

13. After some time, bubbles will be seen on the surface of boiling milk.

14. Coat a spoon in the milk and check the back side of the spoon. If a line draws clearly, it means milk is thick enough.

15. Switch off the heat and let milk turn cool completely. You can also put the pan under a fan for quick cooling.

16. Once cooled completely, transfer the caramelized milk in the grinder jar.

17. Also add 1/2 tsp of cardamom powder.

NOTES

1. Sugar can be added anywhere between 3/4 cup to 1 Cup. If you feel 1 cup is too high, then caramelize only 3/4 cup of sugar. At the last stage of cooking and immediately before switching off the heat, taste the kulfi base. If you feel sweetness is low, then add more sugar and melt completely. You need not to caramelize this extra sugar.
2. Matka kulfi is frozen in earthen pots. But if you don’t have such pots, you can use any other utensil or kulfi mould for the purpose.
