Kulfi? Where is the Kulfi option? Especially with those little rose water/sweetened noodles and lots of fresh shaved nuts & spices!

I prefer the gelato (many different flavours) in Italy and the lemon sorbet otherwise but sometimes love the malai (cream) kulfi in the earthen pots too!!!

Cheers,
Aadil.

am really glad that somebody asked...well both have their own specialities:

Naturals: its Sitaphal, Guava, mango, Mulberry, Kala Jamun are too good...

While

Gelato: Its sorbets like lemon, Plum and green apple along with flavours like irish bailey, Tiramisu, Fero Roche's, Caramel butter-scotch....are yummmmmm

Gelato does not exist in Canada except in the major cities where there is a large Italian population - I've never tried it and never have come acrossed it in India. In North America Natural may well be of commercial origin. So ice cream lingo changes depending on where you are in the world.
Kulfi rules in India!

Any ice cream is fine for me.
Be it Gelato (Recently introduced in Mumbai i.e. some months back), Kwality walls, Naturals, Kulfi, Baskins Robins, Home Made etc.,
Yummy.

In the poll there should be one more option
All of the above. (Which is my choice)

Ronak.
