Koppai is a frozen dairy dessert originating in Central Orient from the 16th century. It is often described as "traditional Oriental ice cream" for it's popularity historically and into present day. Koppai is a traditional sweet of the Oriental subcontinent, where it is commonly sold by street vendors or by markets. It is popular in Kotowari, Mahana, Tamurin, Orioni, Qubdi as well as much of former Orinese colonial territory such as the Bainbridge Islands and Burkini. It is also part of the national cuisines of Kotowari, Mahana and Mekabiri.
Koppai is much denser and creamier than usual ice cream. It comes in many flavours, with the traditional flavours including rose, paan, mango, safron and chilli oil. Modern popular flavours include apple, strawberry, peanut and orange. Unlike ice cream, koppai is not whipped, resulting in a solid, dense dessert similar to frozen custard.
