Method

  1. 1

    Reduce the milk

    Simmer the milk in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 25–30 minutes until reduced by about half and thickened.

  2. 2

    Sweeten and spice

    Stir in the sugar and crushed cardamom, simmering a further 3–4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add pistachios

    Stir in most of the chopped pistachios, reserving a little for garnish.

  4. 4

    Cool and freeze

    Let the mixture cool completely, then pour into kulfi moulds or small cups.

  5. 5

    Freeze until set

    Freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until completely firm.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Unmould by dipping briefly in warm water, garnish with the reserved pistachios, and serve immediately.

Nitra tip

Stir the milk frequently as it reduces — it can catch and scorch on the bottom of the pot if left unattended.
