Our childhood summer memories are filled with delicacies like popsicles, lemonades and kulfi! Every evening, a vendor would ring his bell and we would immediately rush to stop him and buy too many kulfis — and that too, in different flavours. From pista to gulkand and rajbhog, we have relished so many of them! But, have you ever tried a kulfi wrapped with a gold leaf? A street vendor in Indore is selling this ‘gold kulfi’ Take a look!
Indore Vendor Selling Gold Kulfi
An Instagram user and food blogger, @mammi_ka_dhaba, posted a video of an Indore vendor selling kulfi wrapped in a gold leaf. The video starts by showing a man adorned with gold jewellery like rings, bracelets, chains, etc. He takes a kulfi stick out of the ice cream freezer and delicately rolls it in his palms. After taking off the wrapper, he wraps the candy with a 24-carat gold leaf. This kulfi is sold by Prakash Kulfi in Sarafa Bazar in Indore and costs ₹351.

Netizens Don’t Believe It!
But can a 24-carat gold kulfi cost ₹351? Is it even real? This is what Netizens are curious about. One of the users wrote that every ₹351 contributed to his (the vendor’s) jewellery collection. Another one stated that it is fake and the gold leaf is not even half-carat gold. People find it difficult to believe this gold kulfi and the vendor is making a fool of them.
This is not the first time someone has tried adding gold to food. A vendor in Lucknow tried making a “gold tea”. The making of the tea is demonstrated in the movie, and a gold leaf is then added on top.
Also, a Visakhapatnam biryani lover had launched special biryanis topped with edible 23-carat gold leaves. In Delhi, there is a vendor that sells ice cream coated with 24-carat gold leaf. And have you heard about gold chicken tikka? These tikkas are grilled and coated with gold leaf!
