Author Notes

Kulfi is the Indian version of ice-cream. Kulfi is prepared by reducing the milk by cooking it for hours on stove. Kulfi could be served with an Indian drink called falooda or simply enjoyed the way it is...In this recipe of mine , I am cheating a little bit by using condensed milk and evaporated milk.
For variation you can add a little bit of cranberries which will add some color it or may be cardamom also. You can also add pieces of figs or dates. —Devangi Raval

Hi PistachioDoughnut,

How much saffron should one dissolve in the milk? Excited to try this recipe!

I'd say that one tiny pinch - about 4-5 threads - would be plenty. It's a pretty heady spice. Another thing - the saffron doesn't actually dissolve. The threads keep their integrity, they just leach most of their aromatics into whatever hot liquid you use (normally water, here milk). I normally use nail scissors to cut up the saffron threads into tiny pieces in a ramekin or small bowl before adding the hot liquid, then after steeping put the whole lot into the main dish. Cutting it up means it disperses more throughout the dish.
