Matka kulfi recipe – Kulfi icecream set in earthen clay pots called as matka kulfi or pot kulfi.I have tried different kulfi recipes and this summer wanted to try this matka kulfi. You can use any base kulfi recipe and use it for this.
I haven’t used khoya for this recipe just thickened milk with nuts mixture and it came out so good.If you want it more rich you can add 1/4 cup unsweetened khoya.

Recipe Notes
- Cornflour mixed with milk is added to thicken milk faster but that can be skipped too.
- If you add very little saffron the color will be dull ivory.
- I recommend using full fat cream milk , don't use low fat milk.
- You can use cornflour mixed with milk as thickening agent.Just add it along with milk after boiling this helps in making the thickening process quicker.
