Ingredients
Main Ingredients
4 1/2 cups low fat milk , 99.7% fat-free
1/4 tsp citric acid (nimbu ka phool) crystals
a few saffron (kesar) strands
2 tbsp warm low fat milk , 99.7% fat free
1 tsp cornflour
1 1/2 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp cardamom (elaichi) powder
To Be Mixed Together For The Strawberry Sauce
1/2 cup mashed strawberries
2 tsp powdered sugar
Method
- Combine the citric acid crystals and 2 tbsp of hot water in a small bowl, mix well and keep aside.
- Combine the saffron and 1 tbsp of warm milk in a small bowl, mix well and keep aside.
- Combine the cornflour and 1 tbsp of warm milk in a small bowl, mix well and keep aside.
- Heat the milk in a deep non-stick pan and bring to a boil for approx. 7 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
- Cook on a slow flame for 25 to 27 minutes or till it reduces to half of its original quantity, while scrapping the sides occasionally.
- Add the citric acid-water mixture, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 1 minute, while stirring occasionally. The milk may appear curdled, but that is intended.
- Add the cornflour-milk mixture and sugar, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 1 minute, while stirring occasionally. Remove from the flame and allow the mixture to cool completely.
- Add the saffron-milk mixture and cardamom powder and mix well.
- Pour into a 100 mm. × 100 mm. (4” × 4”) shallow container and freeze for 5 hours.
- Remove and blend in a mixer to break all the ice crystals till the kulfi is smooth and creamy.
- Pour into 5 kulfi moulds and freeze overnight or until it sets.
- Just before serving, allow the moulds to remain outside the freezer for 5 minutes and then unmould by inserting a wooden skewer or a fork in the centre of the kulfi and pulling it out.
- Serve immediately topped with strawberry sauce.
