- HOW TO MAKE OR PREPARE BADAM OR ALMOND KULFI RECIPE
PREPARATION
Grind the almonds in a mixer to a coarse powder and keep aside. Dissolve cornflour in 3 tablespoons of milk and set aside. Make sure no lumps are formed.
Soak saffron strings in 2 teaspoons of milk for 15-20 minutes
METHOD
Boil 2 1/2 cups of milk in a wide pan or a non-stick pan on a high flame. Once the milk is fully boiled, lower the flame and cook the milk by stirring continuously, until it has thickened and reduced to 3/4 of its volume. This will take about 20 -25 minutes.
Add condensed milk and mix well. Keep stirring for another 2-3 minutes o n a low flame,till the condensed milk is well absorbed by milk.
Now add saffron strings, cardamom powder and badam powder and mix well.
Lastly add cornflour paste and mix well. Once cornflour is added, the mixture will tend to thicken. Cook for another 2 minutes on a low flame. Once the mixture reaches slightly thick pouring consistency, switch off the flame.
Allow the mixture to cool down completely. Pour the mixture into kulfi moulds by distributing evenly. Close the mould with the lid and freeze for about 7-8 hours or overnight.
Remove the kulfi by running a sharp knife around the edges of the kulfi.
Garnish badam kulfi with chopped badam pieces and serve chilled.
NOTES/TIPS
Boil the milk in a non-stick pan to avoid sticking of the milk on the sides and bottom of the pan.
Once cornflour paste is added, keep stirring continuously on a low flame, as the mixture tends to thicken.
Mixture should not be too thick. Otherwise kulfi will be not be set properly. It is should be medium pouring consistency.
