Before you start
- Kulfi is not ice cream. It is not churned, so the density comes entirely from reducing the milk hard before freezing.
- Scrape the skin back into the milk as it reduces. Those solids are what give kulfi its texture.
Method
- Bring the milk to the boil in a wide, heavy pan and keep it at a steady simmer.Wide pan. Reduction is about surface area, not time.
- Reduce by half over 45 minutes, stirring often and scraping the sides back in.Push the cream that forms on the sides back into the pan as you go.
- Add the sugar, khoya if using, cardamom and saffron, and cook 10 minutes more until it coats a spoon thickly.
- Stir in most of the nuts and cool to room temperature.
- Pour into kulfi moulds or small cups, cover, and freeze at least 6 hours.Cover tightly. Uncovered kulfi takes up freezer smells.
- To unmould, dip briefly in warm water. Serve with the remaining nuts on top.
Storage
Keeps a month frozen, tightly covered. Once softened it should not be refrozen; the texture goes icy.
