Imli ki Kulfi

Ingredients

1/4 cup tamarind
1 cup dates, de-seeded
1/2 cup jaggery
1/2 tsp black salt
1/4 tsp roasted cumin powder
1/4 tsp red chili powder
Pinch of asafetida
Salt to taste

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.
