The below recipe makes about 400 ml of Almond- Kesar Kulfi dessert. The number of kulfi bars you can get after you freeze would depend on the size of the mould you would use.

PREP TIME: 5 Mins + 8 hours for freezing

COOKING TIME: 30 Mins

Ingredients

Milk – 800 ml

STEP 2: Take 2 teaspoons of hot milk and pour it over the saffron strands. Let it soak for 5 minutes.

STEP 5: Let the milk cook on low heat for 5 minutes.

STEP 6: Add a pinch of salt (to elevate the taste) and turn off the heat.
