Kulfi is a traditional Indian frozen milk-based dessert that's sometimes known as 'Indian Ice cream'. Many versions and variants of the basic recipe exists, but this is one of the best and most flavoursome that I have personally tasted.

Ingredients:

2.25l whole milk
12 green cardamom pods
10 tbsp granulated sugar
3 tbsp slivered almonds
275ml single cream
2 tbsp finely-chopped unsalted pistachios

Method:

Add the milk to a heavy pan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a vigorous simmer and allow the milk to reduce to 1/3 its original volume. Stir frequently and make certain that you scrape any dried residue back into the pot and stir any skin that forms back into the milk. While the milk is simmering remove the seeds from the cardamom pods, grind to a very fine powder and stir into the milk.

As soon as the milk has reduced sufficiently add the sugar and almonds and stir to combine. Simmer for about 3 more minutes, ensuring that the sugar dissolves completely. Take the milk off the heat and allow to cool slightly before stirring-in the cream and half the pistachios.

Pour the mixture into a square tin or freezer-proof plastic dish so that the liquid is about 5–7cm deep. Allow to cool completely then cover and place in a freezer for about 30 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining pistachios over the top then return the kulfi to the freezer until set hard.

Remove the kulfi 15 minutes before serving then cut into 1cm cubes and serve in chilled bowls.
