These Saffron & Pistachio Kulfi Doughnuts reinterpret Christmas dessert through Indian flavours. Soft, yeast-raised doughnuts are filled with a dense kulfi-style custard made by reducing milk, blooming saffron, and folding in pistachios. The result balances airy fried dough with a slow-cooked, aromatic centre that feels festive without being heavy.
