Homemade Badam Kulfi (My dad's recipe)

Photo by Amit Agni
Ingredients:
4 cups milk( I have used a combination of low fat milk and full fat milk)
5tbsp sugar (Adjust sugar as per your taste)
3-4 green cardamom 
10-12 almonds, finely sliced (Soak the almonds overnight and remove the skin next morning)
1 cup milk powder
Method:
Add the milk powder to the milk and stir well to mix it. Ensure there are no lumps.
Cut the cardamom pods at the center and add it to the milk along with the almonds.
In a thick bottom pan bring the milk to a boil then on medium flame let the milk cook further for 30-35 mins until it has thickened and reduced to little less than half.Keep stirring in between.
Add the sugar. Stir well. Taste to check if the sweetness is okay. Remove from heat and let it cool. Remove the cardamom pods from the milk and keep aside.
Pour the milk along with the almonds in a blender (don't put all the almonds in the blender leave some in the pan). Blend till the almonds are crushed.
Pour back the blender milk in the pan and mix well and bring to a boil. Cool the milk.
Pour this milk in a container or kulfi mould and keep it for 4-6hrs at the coldest temperature in the freezer.
Serve when it firms.
Tips!!
If you have not soaked the almonds overnight, soak it in hot water for 2mins then remove the skin.
