Malai kulfi:

• 1 liter (0.3 US gal) milk

   Pour the milk into the saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil.

   Add the saffron. Stir constantly. While stirring, scrape the sides and base of the pan, to avoid sticking. This part is very important because the scraped parts form the main essence of the kulfi.
