KULFI (INDIAN ICE CREAM WITH NUTS)
A wonderful Madhur Jaffrey recipe. You don't need an ice-cream maker for this recipe, but if you do have one, you may use it! There are quite a few recipes posted here which includes cream. Kulfi is not made with cream, it's made with reduced milk. You may use full-cream or semi-skimmed milk. So, it would help to have a wide, heavy based sauce-pan for boiling down the milk, but a heavy non-stick pan would do as well. Please note, the cooking time does not include cooling time and freezing time.

Steps:
- Pour the milk into a wide, heavy based sauce pan and bring to boil over high heat, stirring constantly.
- As soon as the milk begins to rise, turn the heat down just to the point to allow the milk to simmer vigorously but without boiling over.
- Add in the cardamom pods.
- Leave the milk to boil and stir the sides of the pan constantly to avoid scalding.
- Whenever a film forms on top of the milk, just stir it in .
- The milk has to reduce to about a third of the original amount, about 750 ml (1 1/4 pints) which will take about 45 minutes.
- When the milk has reduced, remove the cardamom pods and discard them.
- Add in the sugar and almonds, stir and simmer gently for 2-3 minutes.
- Pour the reduced milk into a bowl (which can be put into the freezer) and let it cool completely.
- Add half of the chopped pistachios and stir them in .
- Cover the bowl with an aluminum foil and put it in the freezer.
- (I do not have an ice-cream maker, but if you do, then you can pour the milk into the machine and get it going).
- Meanwhile, put 6 small individual cups or a 900ml ( 1 1/2 pints) pudding basin in the freezer.
- Every 15 minutes or so, remove the ice-cream bowl from the freezer and give the ice-cream a good stir.
- As the ice-cream begins to freeze, it will become harder to stir but when it becomes almost impossible to stir, take out the cups or pudding basin from the freezer and divide the ice-cream between the cups or empty it into the pudding basin.
- Sprinkle the remaining pistachios over the top and cover with aluminum foil sealing them well on the edges.
- Return them back to the freezer to let the ice-cream harden (for at least 4 hours).
- If it's in individual cups, then remove the cups from the freezer 10-15 minutes before you want to serve it to soften slightly.
- If it's made in the pudding basin, you can put it in the fridge 20-30 minutes before serving.
- Remove the ice-cream from the pudding basin by running a sharp knife around the edges of the ice-cream and slip it onto a serving plate (it should slip off easily, if it doesn't then dip the bowl in hot water and try again).
- Cut into 6 slabs and serve.
- Enjoy!
Tips:
- To make the best kulfi, use full-fat milk and cream. This will give the kulfi a rich and creamy texture.
- Do not boil the milk and cream, as this will change the flavor of the kulfi. Instead, heat it gently over medium heat until it is just simmering.
- Add the sugar gradually, stirring constantly to dissolve it completely.
- When adding the kewra water, taste the mixture to make sure it is not too strong. You can always add more kewra water if needed.
- Freeze the kulfi in a covered container for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
- To serve the kulfi, dip the mold in hot water for a few seconds to loosen the kulfi. Then, turn the mold upside down onto a plate and gently push the kulfi out.
Conclusion:
Kewra kulfi is a delicious and refreshing Indian ice cream that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. We encourage you to experiment with different flavors and toppings to create your own unique kulfi recipe.
