Kulfi is a popular frozen dessert that originated in India. It is similar to ice cream but has a denser texture and a creamier taste. Kulfi is traditionally made with milk that has been simmered and reduced for several hours until it becomes thick and creamy. It is then flavored with various ingredients such as saffron, cardamom, pistachios, and almonds.

Kulfi is typically served in small, conical-shaped molds or cut into slices and served on a stick. It is a popular dessert in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and other countries in South Asia. In recent years, Kulfi has gained popularity in other parts of the world as well, and it can now be found in many Indian restaurants and grocery stores.
