Thinking of feasting on a falooda? Then go ahead and prepare yourself a glass of delicious rose-flavored falooda using the following recipe.
Ingredients:
Falooda seeds (sabza/ tukmaria/ basil seeds) - 2 tbsp
Rose syrup - 2 tbsp
Milk (chilled) - 3/4 cup
Falooda sev (arrowroot vermicelli) - 2 tbsp
Strawberry-flavored jello (crushed coarsely) - 2 tbsp
Almonds (roasted and chopped) - 1 tbsp

(For preparing saffron/kesar falooda replace the rose syrup, strawberry-flavored jello and strawberry ice cream with kesar syrup, pineapple-flavored jello and kesar pista ice cream respectively.)
Method:
1.) In a bowl take falooda seeds and add enough water to just cover them completely. Refrigerate these for at least an hour so that they swell.
2.) In a pot, boil water and to this add the vermicelli after breaking it into small pieces. Cook until done. Cool and refrigerate until chilled.
3.) Take a tall, broad mouth glass. To this first add the rose syrup, then add the falooda seeds and then the vermicelli.
4.) Pour the chilled milk gradually so that the layers are not disturbed.
5.) Top it with a scoop of strawberry ice cream, jello and almonds.
6.) Serve immediately and give it a gentle stir before you start relishing it, so that all ingredients blend well.
