Fresh Paan leaves and gulkand provides an authentic paan flavor and will wow your guests. Ingredients Serves 8 ½ cup condensed milk 4 paan leaves 1-1/2 cup coconut powder ⅓ cup Gulkand Nuts (optional) Rose Petals Ghee Food color - Green Method Add condensed milk and paan into a food processor or grinder and grind for about 2 minutes till leaves are crushed (Do not make a paste) Add 2 or 3 drops of green color and turn the grinder for a few seconds to mix. Keep aside. Put a pan on slow heat and add 1 tbsp ghee. Add 1 cup coconut powder when the ghee has melted. Keep stirring and roast for about 1 minute on very low heat otherwise the coconut will burn.

Add roasted coconut into the condensed milk- paan mixture and mix well to make a dough. Mix ½ cup coconut and 2 tbsp rose petals in a bowl and keep aside. Divide paan mixture and divide into 8 equal parts. Take a part and roll it into a flat disc about 2 inch diameter using your palm. Add 1⁄2 tsp gulkand and nuts, if desired. Roll in your palms to make a laddu. Roll into coconut - rose petal mixture and keep it on a plate. Repeat to make the rest of the laddus and keep in the fridge for about ½ hour. To serve, sprinkle coconut and rose Petals on top! Note: You can cut laddu into 2 or 4 parts and serve. It will be tastier if you make it on the previous day and serve the next day.

#mangokulfii❤️ #dessert#Mango Kulfi using Nuts is a luscious, no-churn Indian frozen dessert that beautifully captures the essence of summer. This creamy, dense twist on traditional kulfi—often hailed as India’s answer to ice cream—is infused with the vibrant, juicy sweetness of ripe mangoes. I created a healthier version by incorporating high-protein ingredients like cashews, pistachios, cottage cheese, and paneer, while sweetening it naturally with monk fruit sweetener. The result? It tastes even better than classic kulfi—rich, indulgent, and satisfying—while delivering a generous boost of protein and avoiding any sugar spike. Ingredients 1 cup cashews (kaju) ½ cup pistachios (pista) 1 cup cottage cheese 1/ 2 cup paneer 1.5 cup mango chunks/ puree 2 tsp Monk fruit sweetener 1 tsp cardamom powder Few strands of saffron 1.5 cup milk Method In a large bowl, combine the cashews, pistachios and saffron. Pour milk on top and keep in the fridge for overnight or 6-8 hours. Add everything in a blender and blend until you get smooth and creamy paste. Pour the mixture into kulfi moulds or ice cube trays or a small container and tap to remove any air bubble. Freeze for 8 hours or until firm. Enjoy frozen or let it sit for a few minutes and serve as a soft creamy dessert Note: Optionally, add almonds. Adjust sweetness depending on your taste and mango ripening. For a richer texture, add little cream before blending.
