flavours inspired by authentic South Asian flavours which may appeal to Indians.
Pooja Bavishi's brand which is known as ‘Malai’ sells its ice-cream selection that brings a taste of India to the western palate. However, the flavours are not akin to pistachio, rose, saffron or almonds, which represent the traditional Indian ice cream ‘kulfi’. Often, the ice-cream flavours are inspired by small moments which the owner, Pooja Bavishi, remembers fondly such as taking a sip from her parents’ cup of chai, or watching her mother cook with spices and feeling inspired by the aromatic whiff. She chose the blank canvas of ice cream to blend her memories with culture. She brings assorted flavours from South Asian cuisine such as gajar ka halwa, masala chai, sweet roti and ghee, tulsi chocolate chip, jaggery with tamarind caramel, chaat masala and pumpkin garam masala crumble to ice-creams and sorbets. There are also reinventions of waffles using Parle G Biscuits.
