Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Thandai Kulfi
- Use high-quality, full-fat milk and cream for the richest and creamiest kulfi.
- If you don't have Thandai Masala, you can create your own blend with cardamom, fennel seeds, almonds, and rose petals.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of saffron strands to the mixture while it's simmering.
- If your kulfi is too hard to scoop, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before serving.
