Ingredients

  • 4 cups milk
  • 8 tsp sugar
  • ½ tsp ground green cardamom seeds
  • 1 tbsp pistachios , thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp almonds , thinly sliced (optional)

Directions

1

Put the milk into a wide, heavy pan, and bring to boil over high heat, stirring constantly.

2

Lower the heat and cook the milk, stirring constantly until it has thickened and reduced to ¾ cup—this will take about 40–45 minutes. Stir the sides of the pan constantly to avoid scorching.

3

Stir in the sugar, nuts, and cardamom powder. Set aside to cool.

4

Pour the mixture evenly into kulfi moulds or small ramekins . Cover with plastic wrap or foil , and freeze for about 6 hours until set.

5
