Kulfi is sold from clay matkas and brass moulds at street carts, bazaars and old sweet shops, set hard and served sliced on a stick or in a kulfi-falooda glass with rose syrup, vermicelli and basil seeds. Delhi and Mumbai have generations-old kulfiwallahs, with flavours from kesar-pista and malai to seasonal mango, paan and rose. Alongside, modern parlours scoop natural, no-additive ice creams, both thriving on India's fierce summer demand.
🍦Kulfi, the dense, fragrant traditional Indian frozen dessert (cardamom, pistachio, mango), melts more slowly than ice cream.
✨Kulfi is said to date back to the Mughal era; denser than ice cream, it melts slowly.
