"Found at recipesbysam.com. "Kulfi is supposed to be stumbled upon by people living in the Himalayas who learnt the art of frozen food. Noorjehan, the wife of emperor Jehangir (son of the great Mughal King Akbar), is said to have transported great quantities of ice from Himalayas to the palace where it was stored in the underground storage of the royal palaces in Old Delhi. The ice was naturally insulated by the earth and so melted slowly. Noorjehan would serve the ice, crushed or shaved, with fruit pulps and sweetened milk as a unique dessert. However, the advent of modern refrigeration actually popularized this frozen dessert in India." Tip: Tinned mango can also be use if mango pulp is not available. However, do not add the syrup in the kulfi. Time does NOT including cooling of milk base nor chilling for at least 3 hours."
