Kesar Pista kulfi-SNC August

I am very happy to say I am also a part of very lively and wonderful group.South vs North challenge group-brain child of Divya Pramil.I joined the group at the last of July and was looking forward to the August month challenge.I belong to southern group and supposed to tackle the challenges that comes from North :).I think this is the whole fun and challenging part of this group.We get to know recipes,cooking methods,techniques and also get a chance to familiarize our self with many ingredients that we dont use in day to day cooking.With all these said I was really happy to see my first ever challenge is my favorite frozen dessert kulfi- ice cream from our very own land,challenged by Shruti :). I have already a kulfi here but that is a different flavored one and does not use condensed milk.For all these days I have been thinking kulfi with condensed milk will not taste good but I was wrong :) Here followed shruthi's recipe to T and I was amazed by the texture,flavor and taste of kulfi.This is one more addition to my favorite dessert repertoire :) .Thank you Divya and Shruthi :)
