Ingredients :

1 litre Pure Creamy Milk
1 tin Condensed Milk
100 gms. Sugar (optional)
50 gms. fresh Cream
3 tbsps. Corn Flour + 4 tbsps. Milk
3 pods Green Cardamom (powdered)
A pinch of Nutmeg
A pinch of Salt (optional)
Few drops Rose Water
Kewra Syrup/Essence

For the Topping & Garnishing :

Rabdi/Basundi
Slivered Almonds/Pistachios

Procedure :
First, make a smooth lumpless paste of corn flour & milk. Keep aside to use later.

In a thick bottomed deep pan, boil the milk & keep stirring continuously.

After the first boil, reduce heat & let it boil further till it is reduced to half the quantity. Add the condensed milk, sugar, fresh cream, salt & stir to combine well.

Let it boil for another 5 mins. & then add the prepared & reserved corn flour paste & cook till it thickens.

Take the pan off the heat & let it cool completely.

Pour the cooled contents in a blender & pulse briefly to form a thick smooth paste which is called rabdi/basundi.

Pour out the rabdi/basundi in another pan & then add the cardamom pwd., nutmeg pwd., rose water & kewra. Stir to combine well.

Reserve some of the rabdi/basundi for the topping & then fill in the aluminium kulfi cone moulds/popsicles/matkas/any container of your choice.

Freeze for at least 8-12 hours or overnight. The kulfi has to be very firm. It is better to make it in advance to allow the flavors to meld/mingle.

To unmould, dip the moulds briefly in water to loosen & scoop/ease out gently with a blunt knife on to serving plates.

Serve topped with basundi & garnish with a generous helping of slivered almonds & pistachios.

You may serve with falooda & rose syrup if you wish.

Eat it quickly…. before it melts away!!!
