Today, I am sharing kesar pista kulfi recipe (केसर पिस्ता कुल्फी रेसिपी) in this post.
This kesar pista kulfi recipe (Saffron pistachio kulfi) is a classic Indian traditional ice cream recipe made of milk, fresh milk cream, sugar, saffron and pistachio.
The best part of this kulfi recipe is, no artificial color, essence and flavors added to it.
It is believed that the kulfi recipe was originated in the Mughal Empire, which ruled India in the 16th to 18th centuries. It was prepared in royal kitchens using ice brought in from the Himalayas. This is documented in the Ain-i-Akbari, a detailed record of the Mughal emperor Akbar’s administration.
