The traditional Indian dessert is for all seasons, and, during the monsoon, the sweet treat seems even more delectable. Here’s where you can find the tastiest kulfi varieties.

Kulfi, the typical Indian frozen dessert, needs no celebration or occasion to be devoured. The sweet delicacy is a must have in not just Delhi’s scorching summer but even in the rains. As monsoon knocks Delhi’s doors, what better way to welcome the respite from heat than by relishing a kulfi and staying calm?

Ram Bharose Gupta, now in his mid-50s, came to Delhi about 25 years back. In a new city, the young man had to struggle a lot before he managed to set up this stall. Today, the environs of the market have changed drastically since he started yet this stall is a favourite among families which step out for a late night dessert post dinner. He serves kulfi with two colours of faluda — one white and the other yellow (flavoured with kesar) and dollops of delicious rabri. The plate is topped with a tinge of Roohafza and chopped dry fruits.
