A kulfi is an Indian style of ie cream, exemplified by this traditional peach version.
Ingredients:
1l milk
a few
saffron threads, crushed
4 tbsp sugar, or to taste
a few drops of yellow food colouring
1/2 tsp ground
cardamom
1 tbsp blanched pistachio nuts, finely chopped
4 tsp
cashew nuts, chopped
Method:
Soak the saffron in 1 tbsp warm water and set aside.
Place the milk in a medium pan over high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly to prevent a skin from forming. Lower the heat and continue to boil gently for about 50 minutes, or until the milk has reduced to about 400ml. Stir all the time to prevent the milk from burning.
When the milk has reduced sufficiently stir in the sugar, pistachio nuts, saffron water, yellow food colouring and the ground cashew nuts. Ensure the sugar has dissolved then take off the heat and set aside to stand until completely cool.
Divide the mixture evenly between five small (about 100ml) flan moulds or muffin tins. Cover tightly with foil or clingfilm (plastic wrap) then place in the freezer for at least four hours.
To serve, dip the moulds briefly in hot water to release the kulfi. Turn out onto individual serving plates, garnish with a few sliced pistachios (optional) and serve.
