SERVES FOUR

6 1/4 cups full-fat (whole) milk
3 cardamom pods
2 tbsp caster (superfine) sugar
1/2 cup pistachio nuts, skinned
 

 
   
1 Pour the milk into a large, heavy pan.
Bring to the boil and then reduce the heat.
Simmer gently for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
   
2 Put the cardamom pods in a mortar and crush them with a pestle.
Add the pods and the seeds to the milk.
Continue to simmer.
Stir frequently, for 1—1 1/2 hours, or until the milk has reduced to about 2 cups.
Strain the milk into a jug (pitcher).
Stir in the sugar and leave to cool.
   
3 Grind half the pistachios in a blender or nut grinder.
Cut the remaining pistachios into thin slivers.
Set them aside for decoration.
Stir the ground nuts into the milk mixture.
   
4 Pour the milk and pistachio mixture into four kulfi or lolly (popsicle) moulds.
Freeze the mixture overnight or until firm.
   
5 To un-mold the kulfi, half fill a plastic container or bowl with very hot water.
Stand the molds in the water and count to ten.
Immediately lift out the molds and invert them on a baking sheet.
