Method :
-
Put the cardamom pods on a board and
crush them with the bottom of a ramekin, or place them in a mortar and
crush them with a pestle.
-
Chop the peaches roughly and put them in
a pan. Add the crushed cardamom pods, together with their black seeds
and the water. Cover the pan and allow to simmer for about 10 minutes
or until the fruit is tender. Leave to cool.
-
Tip the peach mixture into a food
processor or blender, process until the mixture is smooth, then use a
wooden spoon to press through a strainer placed over a large bowl.
-
By hand: Add the yogurt to the
peach and cardamom purée and mix together in the bowl. Pour into
plastic tub and freeze for about 5 hours until firm, beating once or
twice with a fork or an electric whisk to break the ice crystals.
Using an ice cream maker: Churn the peach and cardamom purée
until thick, then scrape it into a plastic tub or similar container.
Stir in the natural yogurt and freeze until firm enough to hold a scoop
shape.
-
Use an ice cream scoop to make balls of
ice cream. Arrange on a large platter, and serve immediately.
