Ingredients

  • Milk 1 liter(whole milk)
  • Heavy cream 1/2 cup( you can substitute with milk powder 4 tbspns)
  • sugar 1/2 cup
  • saffron few strands
  • Almonds 1 to 2 tbspns(chopped)
  • pistachio 1 to 2 tbspns(chopped)
  • Cardamom 4 to 5(crushed)

 Procedure:


  • Heat milk in a heavy bottom pan and boil the milk on medium to high flame until it starts rising.Once it rises,reduce the flame to medium and add heavy cream.( As I don't have heavy cream at home I substitute milk powder.)
  • Start stirring continuously, until it thickens to avoid burning in the bottom and let it boil around 15 to 20 mins
  • Add saffron strands to the boiling milk( I soak around 5 mins in hot milk)
  • Now add sugar , few chopped pistachio,chopped almonds stir and cook for 5 more mins.
  • Add cardamom powder and switch off the stove.Let it cool completely.
  • Take the kulfi moulds, slowly fill the kulfi moulds and freeze around 5 to 6 hrs or overnight.We can insert bamboo sticks after 2 hrs if we want.
  • Take out kulfi moulds  and enjoy after 5 to 6 hrs
I use my icecube tray for kulfi as I dont have kulfi moulds
Here  a small glass as a kulfi mould

Falooda:
 For one glass serving
  • Rose syrup 2 tspns
  • crushed pistachio 1tbspn
  • Milk 2 tbspns
  • Basil seeds 1 tbspns( Soaked in water for 30 mins)
  • Falooda sev 2 tspns( I use store bought sev or you can substitite with  thin vermicelli, have to  cook in hot boiling water for 2 mins and drain it)
Assembling falooda kulfi:

  • Take one glass to serve,put falooda sev, milk,basil seeds.
