Instructions
15 steps- 1
To begin making the Kesar Pista Kulfi, we will first have to condense the milk
liters milk - (i use 2% fat)(3) - 2
For this heat milk in a heavy bottomed saucepan and bring the milk to a boil
liters milk - (i use 2% fat)(3) - 3
Once the milk comes to a boil, turn the heat to low and simmer the milk with almost continuous stirring and reduce the milk to more than half its quantity
liters milk - (i use 2% fat)(3) - 4
It is important to note that during the initial stages of milk condensation frequent stirring is important, but as it begins to start condensing and reaches less than half the quantity it is absolutely important that you stir continuously
liters milk - (i use 2% fat)(3) - 5
This is because condensed milk tends to get stuck to the bottom and sides of the pan and burn; leading to a very unpleasant taste
liters milk - (i use 2% fat)(3) - 6
Burning of milk is also toxic so you want to be extra careful
liters milk - (i use 2% fat)(3) - 7
Once it is reduced to about more than half of its quantity stir in the sugar until it dissolves completely
sugar(1/2 cup) - 8
Finally stir in the cardamom powder, saffron and chopped pistachios into the Kulfi milk mixture

- 10

- 11

- 12

- 13
