Mango kulfi is the fruit version of the frozen Indian ice, smooth because the pulp goes in the base. I use real mango so the color is gold, not orange from dye.
The mango kulfi recipe is easy to follow and requires no special equipment, making it a perfect treat for summer days or special gatherings.
