Kesar Pista Kulfi

This is my first challenge in SNC. So thrilled to be a part of SNC 11. As a new blogger events like this gives a great platform as we try and learn different cuisines from each other. Thank to Divya for this initiative... 
 I have made ice creams and kulfis at home many times(thanks to my MIL). Last month I made coconut kulfi but never made Kesar Pista kulfi at home. So learnt a new thing. I did not use sugar as I was already using condensed milk and sugar will add unnecessary calories ;-)  But if you wish you can include sugar. This is my version of the kulfi. Thanx Shruti for sharing the recipe.
Here goes my version of kulfi... Happy cooking...

Ingredients:
1 litre milk
1/2 tin condensed milk 
1 1/2 tbsp cornflour
1/3 cup chopped pistachios 
1/4 tsp saffron (kesar)

Method:

In a heavy bottom pan heat about 1/2 litre of milk. Bring it to boil. Add half of the condensed milk to it. 

 Pour half of the cornflour mixture. Mix well to avoid lumps. Stir well until the mixture becomes thick.

Repeat the same with the other half litre as well. 

To one half litre of milk add saffron(soaked in lukewarm milk).

Dry roast pistachios and chop them. Add chopped pistachios to the other half of the mixture.

Now pour the mixture into kulfi moulds alternately,cover with the lid and freeze for 3 to 4 hours.

In a heavy bottom pan heat about 1/2 litre of milk. Bring it to boil. Add half of the condensed milk to it. Keep boiling on low flame till it reduces to about half the quantity. Pour half of the cornflour mixture. Mix well to avoid lumps. Stir well until the mixture becomes thick.
Repeat the same with the other half litre as well. 
To one half litre of milk add saffron(soaked in lukewarm milk).
Dry roast pistachios and chop them. Add chopped pistachios to the other half of the mixture.
Remove from fire and allow it to cool. 
Now pour the mixture into kulfi moulds alternately,cover with the lid and freeze for 3 to 4 hours.
Remove from freezer.
When the Kulfi is completely set, keep the mold under tap water for a second & then slowly pull out the kulfi and roll it in pistachio powder and serve immediately.
