Kulfi is a popular frozen dessert that originated in India. It's similar to ice cream, but has a creamier texture and richer flavor. Kulfi is typically flavored with cardamom, saffron, or other spices and is often garnished with nuts. While kulfi is a traditional Indian dessert, it has become popular all over the world. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed as a refreshing treat on a hot day.

Instructions

1.	In a large, heavy-bottomed pan, bring the milk to a boil over medium-high heat.
2.	Add the crushed cardamom pods and sugar, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
3.	Cook the milk on low heat for 2 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
4.	Add the chopped almonds and pistachios, and cook for another 30 minutes, stirring continuously.
5.	Remove the pan from heat and let it cool.
6.	Pour the mixture into kulfi molds or small plastic cups.
7.	Cover the molds/cups with aluminum foil or plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 6 hours.
8.	Once frozen, remove from the molds/cups, and serve.
