Imli ki Kulfi

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup tamarind
  • 1 cup dates, de-seeded

  •  

Preparation

  • Wash and soak tamarind in lukewarm water. Wash the dates, pressure cook them for two to three whistles, and then simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the pulp of the tamarind, sieve and remove all extras. Add to the dates. Add jaggery and cook until the jaggery melts and the chutney is thick.
  • Add all the spices and cook for five to seven minutes. This is the concentrate for the kulfi.
  • To make the imli kulfi, dilute the chutney with water. Check the spices and the flavors, they should blend well. Pour into kulfi molds and freeze.
  • Serve with a sprig of mint. You could also serve this with some chaat masala.
