Categories: Indian, Ice cream
     Yield: 1 Servings

MMMMM------------------------BASIC RECIPE-----------------------------
     4 c  Milk
     8 ts Sugar
     8    Green cardamom pods, seeds
          Removed and ground
     1 tb Thinly sliced pistachio nuts
          (optional)

MMMMM-------------------AAM KULFI (MANGO KULFI------------------------
     4 c  Milk
     4 tb Sugar
   1/8 ts Freshly grated nutmeg
     1 c  Pulp from freshly pureed
          Ripe, sweet mangoes

MMMMM----------------KESARI KULFI (SAFFRON KULFI---------------------
   1/2 ts Crushed saffron threads
   1/2 c  Heavy cream

 Place the milk in a medium-sized heavy pan over high heat. Bring to a
 full boil while stirring constantly to prevent a skin from forming.

 Lower the heat and continue boiling gently 45 - 60 minutes, until the
 milk is reduced to 1 3/4 cups; stir frequently to keep the milk from
 sticking and burning or boiling over.  When the milk is reduced
 sufficiently, stir in the sugar and ground cardamom and let stand
 until completely cool.

 Divide the mixture evenly among four small (about 1/2 cup) flan molds
 or muffin tins.  Cover tightly with foil or plastic wrap and place in
 the freezer for at least four hours.

 To serve, dip the molds into boiling water for a few seconds to
 release the kulfi.  Transfer to individual serving plates, garnish
 with the sliced pistachios (if used) and serve at once.

 For the Aam Kulfi (Mango Kulfi)
 Proceed as above, folding in the nutmeg and mango pulp before
 transferring the mixture to FIVE molds.

 Makes 5 portions.

 For the Kesari Kulfi (Saffron Kulfi)

 Follow the top recipe exactly, but fold in 1/2 tsp. crushed
 saffron threads and 1/2 heavy cream before filling the molds.

 Makes 4 portions.
