Paan Matka Kulfi is a traditional Indian ice-cream which is basically a frozen dessert generally made using Milk and Sugar and generally served in Matkas (earthen pots).
Paan Matka Kulfi is a refreshing flavour packed Kulfi. It’s like enjoying a Meetha Pan in a frozen form.
Meetha Paan is a kind of mouth-freshener that is very common amongst Asian countries.
Off-late it has become a popular ingredient in a variety of desserts.
I have myself shared with you all Paan Shots and No-Cook Paan Laddu in previous posts. You should definitely try this flavour at least one; I am pretty sure you would fall in love with its refreshing and soothing taste.
What’s the difference between an Ice-Cream and Kulfi?
Usually, the cream in the ice-cream is whipped until it forms a soft to stiff peaks (like we did in our butterscotch ice-cream) and the flavour of your choice is added to it. Whipping the cream incorporates air into it making the ice-cream light, soft and smooth.
Whereas to make a kulfi we often add the milk and cream to a wide-mouth pan and cook it until reduced to 1/3 of the original amount. This makes it thicker and creamier and dense due to which we feel a texture while biting onto a kulfi.
