Excellent taste and so very irresistable. But I had choosen to give 4 stars because 15 mins of the cooking time stated in the recipe is not correct. It takes longer than that around 40 mins to cook. Secondly the quantity of sugar could be reduced if mango is very sweet.

Hi, This is a query. Please help me with: 1. Can''t we use condensed milk like Amul Mithai mate / milkmaid only instead of milk powder and normal milk? 2. Pls give tips on how to unmould? (I have never done / seen it before). 3. Can we put the sticks inside to hold the kulfi? When to put these? Thanks.

Hi Payal, 1. Condensed milk is already in the recipe and do not omit the milk powder as it makes it creamy and also makes it thicker. 2. remove the kulfi after set from the freezer, wait for 5 minutes, put a tick in it and pull it lightly.

Hi I want to make this recipe. But it''s mentioned that Alphonso mangoes must be used. I have lots of mangoes from my garden,but they are different variety,probably Himsagar,as they have a nice aroma and are very dark orange inside. Not very fibrous too. Can i use those instead of Alphonso?

In one of your comments, u have mentioned that this recipe has made the use of condensed milk. However, in your ingredients and recipe mentioned above, condensed milk is not at all mentioned. Pls rectify this anomaly. Is condensed milk required in the recipe or not?
