Kulfi vs. Kulfa

Raatkirani · Aug 15th, 2006, 03:38 PM

Does anyone know the difference between kulfi and kulfa? I sure as heck don't.

Ira · Aug 15th, 2006, 04:32 PM

I thought kulfi was the icecream and kulfa was a leafy vegetable like spinach?

Kulfa, more popularly known as kulfi, dates back to the 18th century, when the royal spreads seldom went without this dessert. Stored in matkas or clay pots, packed with ice cubes and a fair mixture of rock salt that helps to maintain the cold temperature, this traditional Indian ice cream comprises of creamy condensed milk, sugar syrup, pistachio, gum and dry-fruits for decorations.

Ira: ^^

Raatkirani: Hmmm....I thought kulfi was same except smaller in size

Kulfi is sakht (hard) and Kulfa is naram (soft). I honestly think someone got the names reversed.

I swear, kulfa is also a leafy veggie

Khumar · Aug 15th, 2006, 06:45 PM

lol. reminds me of this joke that happened.

Kulfi is the desi icecream. Kulfa is actually a vegetable, leafy greens that you cook like saag.

all i remember from ages ago was kulfi was the cone shape type one and them they had king kulfa ice-cream...tasted like kulfi with pistachios and all and was soft.

and kulfa is also a saag... 'kulfay ka saag' i heard...just like Ira and khumar mentioned

chips6 · Aug 16th, 2006, 04:26 PM

i've also heard "kulfay ka saag"....but really do not know what it is.....

i dont know the exact difference between them ,but i think kulfa has a lot of nuts in it like almonds and pistachios whereas kulfi does not and also kulfi is on a stick (like a popsicle) but kulfa isn't....

kulfi or kulfa.....yummmoooo

Bingo.....I had the same thing in mind. I always thought Kulfa had more stuff in it whereas kulfi was just simple (and cheap).

PS - Kulfay ka saag? [**confused, scratching head**]
