After having made the Chana Dal Halwa as a part of the SNC – South vs North Challenge – a brainchild of Divya Pramil of You Too Can Cook, I was never able to participate in any of them that followed. A lot of factors contributed to not being able to participate in the challenges. However, this time when Shruthi of Shruthi’s Rasoi declared the challenge of the month, I just couldn’t hold myself. First of all it had been ages since I had made ice cream and then it becomes a chance to participate in the challenge after so long. So here it is!!! I absolutely enjoyed making it, pouring it into the popsicles and licking the pan I made the mixture in… It tasted too good then also! Since my cousins discovered the kulfi in the fridge and had eaten a couple of them, I ensured that I took a picture of at least one of it before the whole lot disappeared!!! 😉
Kesar Pista Kulfi
Ingredients
- 750 ml milk
- 1/3 can condensed milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp cornflour
- 1 tsp cardamom powder
- 1/8 tsp saffron streaks
- 1/4 cup shelled pistachios chopped
Instructions
- Mix the cornflour into a smooth paste using 100 ml milk.
- Heat 50 ml milk and soak the saffron strands.
- Mix the remaining milk along with the condensed milk and sugar in a heavy bottomed saucepan and bring to boil.
- Keep boiling, scraping the sides to collect the cream till the mixture becomes 3/4.
- Add in the cornflour mixture and mix well till the milk thickens.
- Add in the cardamom, saffron milk and the shelled pistachios.
- Cook for a couple of minutes more and switch off the flame.
- Allow the mixture to cool. Pour into popsicles and freeze overnight till set.
- To release from the popsicles, dip it in a glass of hot water for 30 seconds and pull it out. Dump it in!!! 🙂
