Kesar kulfi recipe

                                                         TRADITIONAL KESAR KULFI / HOW TO MAKE KESAR KULFI

INGREDIENTS

• Milk – 1 litre
• Cardamom pwdr – ¼ tsp
• Sugar – 2 or 3 tbsp or as per taste [ add accordingly as we are adding condensed milk also ]
• Grounded almonds – 3 tbsp [coarse texture ]
• Condensed milk – 3 tbsp
• Saffron – ½ tsp

METHOD

Take milk in a broad thick bottom pan.

Heat it on medium flame.

Once it starts boiling , reduce the flame.

A layer of cream will form on the top, take a spatula and move this layer towards the sides of the pan. Again allow the layer to form.

Each time the layer forms , keep moving this layer to the sides .

Keep stirring the milk in a gap of 4 to 5 mins to avoid burning of milk at the bottom and also to allow the layer to form.

You will also see milk thickening on the sides of the pan , keep scraping it and mix it with the milk.

When the milk reduces to half , add sugar + cardamom pwdr  and mix well.

Again simmer the milk for 5 minutes , repeat the process of shifting the layers to the sides.

Simmer it till the milk reduces to little more than ½  , till the mixture becomes thick but of flowing consistency . [ not very thick ]

Off the flame .

**** IMP – if  there is lot of creamy bits  [malai pieces ] just blend it once for smooth texture .

Mix in the grounded almonds + saffron soaked in 2 tbsp milk + condensed milk and mix well.

Allow the mixture to cool.  [ atleast keep it for 1 hour or 2 hrs to cool so that ice is not formed ]

Take kulfi mould , or any small bowl or popsicle mould or earthern matkis or disposable cups or paper cups.

Grease it a bit with odourless oil . [optional ]

Pour in the mixture cover it .

Freeze it till it becomes firm.

Remove from the freezer , dip it in water or hold under running tap for few seconds to unmould swiftly .

Unmould the kulfis , garnish with chopped pista and serve.
