2 tblsp sugar
1/2 tsp elaichi powder
1 -2 tblsp khoya/ mawa
1/2 tblsp skinned pistachios, thinly sliced
1/2 tblsp skinned almonds, finely sliced
Method of Preparing Kulfi
At first, put the milk into a wide pan and bring to boil over high heat. Stir constantly. Use full cream milk.
Now slow the heat and cook the milk, stirring constantly, until it has thickened. Stir the sides of the pan constantly to avoid scalding.
Mix corn flour in 1/4 cup cold water and make sure no lumps are formed. Add this to the milk. Stir constantly otherwise it will start sticking on the base of the pan providing burnt taste.
Now add the sugar, nuts and cardamom powder and grated khoya. Stir well till the khoya gets evenly dissolved. Switch off the fire and allow it to cool.
Once at room temperature, pour the mixture into kulfi moulds and let it freeze until set, about 6 hours.
Remove the kulfi from the moulds by running a sharp knife around the edges of the pista-badam kulfi.
Serve.
One can taste this delicious kulfi plain as it is or it can be garnished with ground cardamom, saffron, or pistachio nuts. Kulfi is also served with Falooda vermicelli noodles.
