What does KULFI mean in Scrabble?
noun
Indian English
A dense, frozen dairy dessert from the Indian subcontinent, traditionally flavoured with reduced milk, cardamom, pistachio or saffron.
The dessert called kulfi is made by slowly simmering milk until it thickens and reduces, then freezing the mixture, often in a tall metal cone rather than churned as ice cream typically is. Because it is not whipped with air during freezing, kulfi comes out denser and creamier than most Western ice creams of similar sweetness. Street vendors across South Asia sell kulfi on sticks or in small cups, frequently topped with chopped nuts or a drizzle of syrup. The dessert has since spread with South Asian communities to Britain, North America and elsewhere, and kulfi now appears on many restaurant dessert menus.
