A traditional eastern meal must end with a traditional meethaa (dessert) The following is the recipe for "kulfi" which is a very popular icecream tinged with flavours of pistachioes , almonds and cardamoms. These additions give it a distinct flavour.Kulfi moulds made of steel are widely available but if not , it can just as easily be frozen in any clean freezable container and served in a bowl like icecream.

Kulfi (serves 4-6)

300 ml thickened cream
300 ml evaporated milk (unsweetened)
300 ml condensed milk( use more if extra sweet required )

The following can all be ground together in a larger quantity and kept in a container for future use.
1/4 tsp ground pistachioes
1/4 tsp ground almonds
1/4 tsp ground cardamom

Whip the thickened cream with a manual or electric whisk until the cream becomes light ad fluffy , add evaporated milk and fold it in , then fold in condensed milk taking care not to disturb the light texture of the cream. Add ground nuts as per your taste . Pour this mixture in a freezer safe container or steel kulfi moulds and freeze until set like icecream( If preparing for a dinner party , its better to make this a day before ). Sprinkle with dessicated coconut and ground nuts and serve.
