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.
