Founded in 1936 in a small room by Navrattaram Vasudev Kapoor, Kapoor Ice Cream sold only three flavours — malai, pista and kesar pista. Today, the flavour count has risen to 40 which includes Gulab, chikki, badam pista, mango, chocolate, paan, anjeer, coffee walnut and many more. In 2000, they created the millennium kulfi, which has black currant, butterscotch and tutti fruity. It continues to remain their special item even today.
Chef Vikram Arora is a Dilliwala at heart. At his latest offering Nksha, he takes the traditional route with kesar pista kulfi served with warm panjiri. He prepares the panjiri, with whole wheat atta, desi ghee and rose petals. The kulfi is denser and creamier and the warm and cold combination makes it a comfort pick.
