Kulfi

Kulfi is a very popular Indian dessert. Kulfi comes in a variety of different flavours. Traditional kulfi is made using matkas or pots; known as matka kulfi but we are doing this with kulfi tins.





Ingredients:

4 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon kulfi jelatin
1/4 cup sugar, adjust to taste
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground cardamom (ilachi)
10 pistachios sliced

Method:


1.Boil the milk in a pan on medium high heat untill its volume comes down to half the quantity.
2.Stir milk as needed to keep milk from burning on the bottom of the frying pan. Stir the sides of the pan to avoid scalding.
3.Next add sugar and pistachios and cook for 2 more minutes.
4.Turn off the heat and add cardamom powder. Add the kulfi jelatin to 2 spoons of hot water and add to milk.
5.Cool the milk to room temperature and pour into kulfi tins
6.Put it in freezer. It will take about 7 hours for the kulfi to be ready to serve.
