Semiya Kulfi, popularly referred as “Semiya Paal Ice” in TamilNadu is a popular and common street side frozen diary dessert. Kulfi is traditionally prepared by evaporating sweetened and flavoured milk via slow cooking, with almost continuous stirring to keep milk from sticking to the bottom of the vessel, until its volume is reduced by a half, thus thickening it, increasing its fat, protein, and lactose density. Roasted Vermicelli is then cooked in the thick milk and enriched with nuts. This semi-condensed Vermicelli mix is then frozen in tightly sealed moulds or popsicle moulds to get this delicious Semiya Kulfi. Basically this semiya kulfi is nothing but Semiya Payasam (Vermicelli kheer) frozen in kulfi moulds. Semiya Kulfi in hot summer is a real treat to beat the heat!

Kulfi is similar to ice cream in appearance and taste but denser and creamier. It comes in various flavours. The more traditional ones are cream (malai), rose, mango, cardamom (elaichi), saffron (kesar), and pistachio. Unlike ice cream, kulfi is not whipped, resulting in a solid, dense frozen dessert similar to traditional custard-based ice cream. Thus, it is sometimes considered a distinct category of frozen dairy-based dessert. Due to its density, kulfi takes a longer time to melt than regular ice cream. Often Kulfi is garnished with ground cardamom, saffron, or pistachio nuts.

Tips for making Semiya Kulfi:

  1. Use a heavy bottomed pan for slow cooking the milk. Milk tends to stick to bottom of pan. So continuously stir the milk till it thickens.
  2. Use full fat milk for kulfi. We need to collect the malai (milk solids) and keep combining with milk while cooking full fat milk.
  3. Use Roasted Vermicelli for better taste. If you don’t have roasted vermicelli, dry roast the vermicelli till its light golden and then cook in milk.
  4. Since we are using condensed milk, we don’t need to add sugar.
  5. Allow the vermicelli milk mixture to cool off before pouring in mould.
  6. You can also use disposable plastic cups instead of popsicle moulds. We can fill the plastic cups, cover with aluminum foil and insert an ice cream stick in the middle and then freeze it.

Ingredients

  • 3 Cups Milk Whole milk(Full fat milk) 1 Cup - 250ml
  • 14 oz Condensed Milk 1 Tin milkmaid or 1 tin Sweetened condensed milk
  • ¼ Cup Vermicelli (Semiya)
  • 2 tbsp Pistachios Chopped
  • 1 tbsp Custard Powder

Instructions 

  • Heat a pan and add whole milk and bring it to boil. Keep stirring occasionally till the milk becomes thicker and reduced to 1/2 of the quantity. Then, add semiya to the pan and stir well.
  • Keep stirring occasionally till the semiya is cooked completely. Meanwhile, I diluted custard powder in milk and stirred it well so that there are no lumps and set that aside. I have used vannila flavoured custard powder. If you don’t have custard powder, you can use corn flour and dilute it with milk.
  • When, the semiya is fully cooked, add condensed milk and keep the flame in low and allow the milk to boil for 5 minutes. Then add custard powder mixture and stir well. Adding custard powder thickens the whole mixture. Then add chopped pistachios and mix well.
  • Finally give a stir once and switch off the flame. Allow the kulfi mixture to cool off fully. Then pour the the kulfi mixture inside the kulfi mould.
  • Close the kulfi moulds with the lid and put them inside the freezer and allow it set for 4-5 hours. After the kulfi is set, take it out from freezer and show the moulds under running water for couple of minutes and set it aside for couple of minutes and try to open the lid and you would have yummy and tasty kulfis all ready for you.
  • Serve the yummy and tasty Semiya Kulfi is now ready to eat!!!

Hi. I tried this recipe today… the condensed milk ratio to milk ratio is way off. Along with the custard powder, it made the mixture way too creamy and it did not set in the kulfi moulds even after hours of freezing.
