Heat milk in a pan and bring to a boil. Allow the milk to simmer for 10 minutes on medium flame or till it reaches half its original quantity. Keep stirring so that the milk does not stick to the bottom of the pan.

Add powdered sugar and cardamom powder. Mix well and cook on a slow flame, while stirring occasionally till it becomes thick and creamy. Turn off flame and allow to cool.

Take another pan, heat it over medium flame. Now, add coarsely chopped pistachios and almonds in the pan and dry roast them for few seconds. Add the roasted nuts to the kulfi mixture, saving a few for garnishing. Mix well and pour the mixture into molds.

Place the molds in the deep freezer and allow to set overnight or till set.
