My Notes :
1.If you don't have kulfi molds then pour it in the vessel and then cut and serve.
2. You can increase or decrease the amount of sugar and nuts as per your choice.
3. Adding cream is to give the richness and thickness. Instead of cream you can also mix a tspn of cornflour in water and add it to the milk.
4. Adding saffron is optional.
