Easy And Simple Kulfi- A Great Indian Dessert

• 1 1 cup pistachios or 1 cup almonds
• dried black raisins
• vanilla essence
• 2 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 pinch cardamom powder
• 2 cups milk

1. Powder all the nuts in a grinder.
2. Dissolve the nutty mixture in cold milk without goops.
3. Bring to a boil. Add vanilla essence, cardamom powder, raisins and sugar at the fag end. Say, a minute before the milk reaches boiling point.
4. Let cool before you pour them into individual serving dishes and freeze for at least 2 hours.
5. Remove just before serving and release the ice cream kulfi from the sides of the dish with a sharp knife. There you go. Home made rich and creamy ice cream to entice your kids with some nutritious and energy filled summer dessert!
6. Tips:
7. You can substitute any other food essence or sherbet syrup for flavor and color. I sometimes use the Roohafsa syrup by "Hamdard" for a rose essence and red color! Just use you imagination to use real fruits, color and essence to make your kids eat the fresh good things of nature!
8. For weight watchers and diabetics, you may use Splenda or brown sugar. It still tastes great!
