ALMOND KULFI
This is a simplified and much quicker way of making Kulfi, a traditional Indian dessert. Serve it now on the Zaar World Tour 2005, or make it for Diwali (festival of lights); the most widely celebrated festival in India. This year Diwali falls on 1 November (I think). The recipe comes from a cutting I saved from the November 2001 Sainsbury's magazine. You can change the teaspoon of vanilla extract for 2 tablespoons of brandy if you wish. Freezing time is included in the ccoking time.

KULFI
I grew up near Little India in California, and I loved the desserts from Indian sweets shops. One of them sold kulfi, a spiced and nutty frozen custard in cone molds. Here I use a shortcut method to make kulfi quickly and without any special equipment. The whole milk can be replaced with mango pulp for mango kulfi. -Justine Kmiecik, Crestview, Florida
