Optional extras

Instructions

  1. 1

    Reduce the milk by a third over a patient flame, stirring so it never catches.

  2. 2

    Stir in the condensed milk, the flavourings and the nuts; cool completely.

  3. 3

    Pour into kulfi moulds, cover with foil and freeze 6 hours or overnight.

Chef's tip

Ghee first, sweetness later — sugar too early toughens milk solids.
