Kesar Pista Kulfi / Pistachios Popsicle With Saffron Flavor ~ SN Challenge # 11


Kesar Pista Kulfi recipe is a summer special rich creamy ice cream that can be prepared at home easily with simple ingredients. Kulfis are nothing but a frozen treats like Ice cream but its frozen using a special molds. I am happy that  Divya Pramil 's South Vs North Challenge  Event is going to complete one year by next month. Yep, this is 11th challenge and so proud to be a part of this successful event. In South Vs North Challenge there are two teams, South Team, members belong to the Southern Part and North Team members from Northern Part. Every Month a member from each will Challenge recipe to the opposite teams - A South team member who is hosting will give a challenging Traditional South Indian recipe to the North team and vice versa. I belong to the Southern Team and this Month Challenge was Kesar Pista Kulfi, hosting by Shruthi while Divya of You Too Can Cook of South team challenged north team members with Paasi Paruppu Payasam.

We really enjoyed this creamy and delicious popsicle/kulfis. Thanks to Shruthi for this delicious recipe, my kids loved it a lot. This month i tried the challenge on day one itself and clicked the pictures on that day itself. Because of the hot and sunny weather, kulfi started melting and couldn't click good pictures with it.
