Mango kulfi with saffron sauce and pistachios

This ice cream defines decadent. It is essentially a rabdi (thickened Indian cream) with mango puree. I have modified the recipe a bit to save on time and labor.

This is a wonderful cookbook of contemporary Indian recipes. The chefs have kept to the traditional flavors, such a fun book to cook from!
