LOWER DIR: Baba Kulfi Ice Cream has become a popular and well-known name, not only among the locals but also attracting visitors from distant parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Baba Kulfi Ice Cream stands out due to its exclusively natural ingredients, as the milk used here comes directly from local farmers in nearby villages, sourced from animals raised in fresh air and open pastures. Additionally, the amount of sugar is carefully controlled to ensure a balanced flavour that is both tasty and health-conscious.
The kulfi is made using traditional methods, with minimal use of industrial machinery. The milk is carefully reduced to a thick consistency, and then dry nuts like almonds and pistachios are added. This traditional process results in a natural and rich taste that distinguishes it from regular ice cream.
Not only does Baba Kulfi provide classic sweet flavours, but it also incorporates local spices and herbs to create unique flavours. Ingredients such as cardamom, saffron, and nutmeg are used to enhance the taste, providing customers with a memorable and distinctive experience.
Baba Kulfi Ice Cream is not just a name, but it holds social importance. It is an integral part of local celebrations, festivals, and daily happiness. For the people of the region, it symbolises their culture and traditions.
The popularity of Baba Kulfi has also contributed to the economic stability of the Lower Dir area. Locals earn their livelihood by making and selling this ice cream, which in turn creates new opportunities of jobs for the community.
