A compilation of amazing desserts in India: Kulfi, Falooda, and Ice Gola

Falooda (Hindi: फ़ालूदा) (Urdu: فالودہ‎) (Bengali: ফালুদা) (also Faluda), is a cold dessert popular in the Indian subcontinent. Traditionally it is made from mixing rose syrup, vermicelli, psyllium (ispaghol) or basil (sabza/takmaria) seeds, tapioca pearls and pieces of gelatin with milk or water. Vermicelli used for preparing faloodeh is made from arrowroot whereas vermicelli used in the Indian version is usually made from wheat.

Kulfi is a popular frozen dairy dessert from the Indian Subcontinent. It is often described as "traditional Indian ice cream". It is popular throughout India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Nepal, Burma (Myanmar), and the Middle East, and widely available in Indian restaurants in Australia, Europe, East Asia and North America. As popularly understood, Kulfi has similarities to ice cream in appearance and taste; however it is denser and creamier. It comes in various flavours. The more traditional ones are cream (malai), rose, mango, cardamom (elaichi), saffron (kesar or zafran), and pistachio. There are newer variations such as apple, orange, strawberry, peanut, and avocado. Unlike Western ice creams, kulfi is not whipped, resulting in a solid, dense frozen dessert similar to traditional custard-based ice cream. Thus, it is sometimes considered a distinct category of frozen dairy-based dessert. Due to its density, kulfi takes a longer time to melt than Western ice cream.

Ice gola is India's variation of a popsicle sticks. Crushed/shaved ice is molded into a cone shape and doused with flavored syrups and juices. Kala Khatta is a syrup made from the jambul fruit in India and some other parts of South Asia. It is primarily used as a flavoring for Indian ice lollipops or popsicles, sold as street food. Crushed ice is formed into a lump by hand and mounted on a stick to make the lollipop. Kala khatta syrup and seasonings such as salt and pepper are then poured on the lollipop.

    I tried Kulfi from a nearby indian market and it was locally made. Granted I’m sure straight from india is probably as good as it gets, it’s so so so so delicious. I’m a huge fan of Indian sweets now.
  • lmao... Obviously most of you commenting about them not wearing gloves have never been to these places. I'm from Mexico and they don't always wear gloves. But I'm sure they wash their hands. I have ate at stands many times and have never gotten sick. I would rather watch them make my food right in front of my eyes rather than in a closed kitchen. Lord knows what they do back there...
