One of the best ways to beat the heat is by staying cool. Sounds like a hard thing to do! But, by consuming summer coolants/ cooling food recipes that are gut-friendly, and light is a sure-shot way to keep our internal systems under control. Milk is one such versatile ingredient that goes perfectly well as a part of any cooling food combination
Milk is also considered to be one of the healthiest sources of calcium, vitamin D, and many other essential nutrients. While most kids prefer drinking hot milk, some may also like it cold (especially around summers).
Dear moms and dads, here’s a relief in the form of not one but 3 summer-battling kulfi recipes.
These creamy, homemade, fresh, and healthy recipes that are super easy to prepare at home can be your go-to desserts or snacks up until September!

3. Toasted Coconut Kulfi
The idea of making the toasted coconut kulfi came because I love tender coconut and I thought to experiment it with my summer battling healthy recipes. This kulfi made with coconut milk and jaggery is top-notch in taste. The creaminess of coconut milk added to the flavour of kulfi and the combination worked well. Ingredients:
