Ingredients

1 ltr low fat milk
1 tsp cornflour
6 tsp sugar
a few saffron (kesar) strands
1/4 tsp cardamom (elaichi) powder

To be mixed together for the strawberry sauce
1/2 cup crushed strawberries
4 tsp powdered sugar

Method

In a small bowl, soak the saffron in a little warm milk and keep aside.
Dissolve the cornflour in 1 tablespoon of milk and keep aside.
Put the milk in a broad non-stick pan and bring to a boil. Simmer over a medium flame stirring continuously till the milk reduces to little more than half the original quantity (approx. 600 ml.).
Add the cornflour solution and sugar and bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 to 7 minutes.
Cool completely. Add the saffron mixture and cardamom powder and mix well.
Pour into shallow freezer proof containers and freeze till slushy (aprox. 3 to 4 hours).
Remove and blend in liquidiser to break all the ice crystals till the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Pour into 6 kulfi moulds and freeze overnight until it sets.
To unmould, allow the moulds to remain outside the refrigerator for 5 minutes and then unmould by inserting a wooden skewer stick or a fork in the centre of the kulfi and pulling it out.
Serve topped with the strawberry sauce.
