Instructions: To begin making the Masala Chai Kulfi, we proceed by making the masala chai first.In a pestle and mortar or a mixer grinder, blend the cardamom, cinnamon stick, black peppercorns, cloves and ginger to a fine powder.Place water in a saucepan, bring it to a boil and add the spices. Add the tea leaves, bring to a boil and simmer for 1 min. Now add add sugar and milk as per taste. Stir to combine and turn off the heat.Strain into a container and let the masala chai cool completely.To make the kulfi, add the  milk and custard powder to a saucepan. Place the milk on medium heat  and keep stirring continuously until the milk thickens to form a custard like consistency. Add the masala chai mixture to the kulfi mixture and keep stirring.Once the milk has reached a custard like consistency, add the pistachios and allow it to cool completely.Once the masala chai kulfi mixture has cooled, stir in the condensed milk and combine well till you get a creamy kulfi mixture. Pour the masala chai kulfi into molds and freeze for at least 12 to 15 hours.To make the biscuit crumble, powder the Marie biscuits with a rolling pin. Mix the almond meal to it. Add butter to the mixture so it has a sand like texture.Bake at 180 C for 10 mins till the mixture is golden brown in colour .Remove from the oven and cool before serving.For the sauce, melt the chocolate in a pan by double boiling method. If not, you can melt the chocolate in a microwave. Just ensure you stir the chocolate every 20 seconds to keep it from burning.Remove from flame and add the cream and bourbon, a dash of salt and mix thoroughly. Keep in the fridge to cool completely.To serve the Masala Chai Kulfi, on a plate lay down the biscuit and place the kulfis on top of them. Add a drizzle of chocolate sauce on top of Masala Chai Kulfi and some chopped pistachio and enjoy.Serve Masala Chai Kulfi Recipe With Bourbon Chocolate Syrup after a meal of Aloo Matar Sabzi , Ajwain Puri and Boondi Raita Recipe Spiced With Black Salt.
