Kesar Pista Kulfi
- This is the base kulfi recipe. Any flavour can be added on top of this. The recipe makes 14 matka kulfis plus a box.
- Boil 2 litres of Goodlife normal milk for at least 45 minutes until it reduces to half the quantity.
- Take 2 pinches of kesar in a bowl, add 2–3 spoons of the boiling milk and set aside.
- Crumble 400g of Koya and add to the boiling milk. Mix until the Koya dissolves.
- Add 1 tsp of cardamom powder, 600 ml of condensed milk, 4 tbsp milk powder, the kesar milk and mix.
- Dry roast 1/2 cup pista and badam. Cut into small pieces. Add to the milk mixture and reduce until the whole mixture turns thick. The consistency should be like a dense fluid.
- Cool to room temperature. Now the consistency will be like a rabdi.
- Before serving leave the matka out for about 15 mins or warm in the microwave for 20 to 30 secs. The spoon should go in without much resistance

- Keep aside some of the milk and add two pinches of saffron.
- Add 400g of khoya, the kesar soaked milk and mix well.
