Mawa malai kulfi is a traditional Indian style kulfi recipe prepared by evaporating thick sweetened milk and later mawa is added to attain a thick consistency. This evaporated milk is later chilled into kulfi matkas or kulfi moulds to have the proper shape.
The key ingredient of kulfi is mawa or khoya. Mawa is easily available in all Indian grocery stores but in this recipe, I prepared homemade mawa which tastes similar to store-bought one. To make this kulfi quick and easier way, I add cornstarch to milk so milk gets easily thickens and reduce the time of milk evaporation.
The creamy malai kulfi is quick and easy to prepare and is liked by all age groups.
