Pour the whole milk into a thick-bottomed pot with the evaporated milk. Stir as it warms over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Avoid letting it boil over.
02 -
When the milk mix is warm, lower the flame and add sugar along with the sweetened condensed milk. Stir until the sugar completely melts into the mixture.
03 -
Let everything simmer gently for 15 to 20 minutes. Stir it now and then until the liquid reduces a little and takes on a thicker, more custard-like feel.

Move the pan off the heat. Toss in the cream, ground pistachios, cardamom powder, almonds, rose water, and saffron. Stir well so the flavors blend together.
05 -
Allow the mixture to cool. Once it's no longer warm, pour it into airtight molds or containers. If you're freezing, don’t fill to the very top—leave a little space.
06 -
Seal the molds or container tightly and freeze for a solid 6 to 8 hours (or overnight) until firm.

To serve, warm the molds in your hands or hold them under warm water for a few seconds. Gently pull out the frozen kulfi, or scoop it if it's in a container. Top with extra pistachios and enjoy!
