RishiFromRoshis's Thoughts
By rishiFromRoshis Ask your average South Asian what their favorite frozen dessert is, and the answer invariably comes back as kulfi.
Kulfi is a dessert that's been made in India for hundreds of years and comes in a variety of flavors from cardamom to pistachio to mango.
I have wonderful memories of my grandma bringing fresh batches out of the freezer for all us grandchildren to enjoy, and it's been a favorite of mine ever since.
Traditionally, it's made by boiling down milk until it gets very thick, and then adding whatever type of flavoring you’d like.
For my version, I chose an old American classic (chocolate) and mixed it with a traditional essence of the East, kewra. Along with the frozen banana as a base, it's one flavorful dessert.

Kewra water is the essence of a flower called Kewra in India. You can find it at most Indian/Arabic/Persian stores. Rose water can be substituted as well. Or try the other suggestion on this comment thread of orange blossom essence.

never though about orange blossom water. that sounds really good.
I actually tried making this with cardamom before though, and I'm not sure i like chocolate and cardamom mixed together in large quantities.
