A traditional Indian frozen dessert made with creamy milk, fragrant cardamom, and crunchy nuts. Perfectly rich and refreshing for any occasion!
4 cups whole milk 
½ cup sweetened condensed milk
¼ cup powdered sugar 
¼ teaspoon ground cardamom 
¼ cup chopped nuts (pistachios, almonds, cashews) 
Saffron strands, for garnish (optional) 
Chopped pistachios, for garnish (optional)
1. Reduce the Milk:
Heat whole milk in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat until it comes to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, until the milk reduces to half its original volume (about 30-40 minutes).
2. Sweeten and Flavor:
Add sweetened condensed milk, powdered sugar, ground cardamom, and chopped nuts to the reduced milk.
Stir well and simmer for another 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly.
3. Cool the Mixture:
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
4. Prepare for Freezing:
Pour the cooled mixture into popsicle molds or small cups.
Insert popsicle sticks into the center of each mold or cup.
5. Freeze:
Place the molds or cups in the freezer and freeze for at least 6 hours, or until the kulfi is completely frozen.
6. Serve:
Remove the kulfi from the molds or cups.
Garnish with saffron strands and chopped pistachios for a touch of elegance, if desired.
