Directions

At this stage mawa will leave it’s own ghee and start leaving sides of the pan, keep on stirring the mawa to prevent it from sticking to the pan. Once mawa turn pale golden in color, turn of the heat. Set it aside until it cools down.
  5. Once mawa cools down mix in sugar and nuts powder to the mawa. Using your fingers mix all the ingredients nicely crumbling to a coarse texture powder.
  6. Now add the mawa and sugar mixture into the milk, stir nicely to evenly combine the mawa and the milk.
  7. Keep on stirring the liquid mixture in the saucepan at regular intervals over the low heat.
  8. Once the milk is reduced to almost half in quantity, turn off the heat. Let the kulfi mixture cool down to room temperature.
  9. Pour the liquid into the Kulfi moulds or in an airtight stainless steel or plastic box.
  10. Set Kulfi in the freezer for 6 - 8 hours or best overnight.
  11. To serve, scoop out Kulfi into the serving balls or to unmould the Kulfi, allow the
  12. moulds to remain outside the refrigerator or rubbing between the palms for few seconds, then unmould by inserting a wooden skewer stick and pulling it out.
