Method

  1. 1

    Freeze for 6 to 8 hours or overnight until completely solid.

  2. 2

    Bring 1 litre full-fat milk to a boil in a heavy pot. Reduce to medium.

  3. 3

    Add cornflour slurry while stirring — this thickens the kulfi and prevents ice crystals.

  4. 4

    Cook on medium stirring every 3 to 4 minutes for 20 to 25 minutes until the milk has reduced to about half and is quite thick.

  5. 5

    Add sugar, cardamom powder, saffron milk, sliced pistachios and almonds. Stir.

  6. 6

    Cook 5 more minutes. Add rose water.

  7. 7

    Cool completely.

  8. 8

    Pour into small kulfi moulds or small clay matka pots. Cover with foil or lid.

  9. 9

    To serve: run warm water briefly over the outside of the mould and slide out. Or serve in the clay pot.
