Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup chilled milk you can use vegan milk
  • 6 tbsp rose syrup
  • 1 packet raspberry/ strawberry jelly/ Jell-O
  • 2 tsp sweet basil/ sabja seeds
  • 1/2 cup rice vermicelli, uncooked
  • 2-3 scoops vanilla ice cream you can use vegan ice cream

Instructions

Preparation -

  1. Take 1/2 cup of chilled milk in a bowl, add 3 tbsp. of rose syrup. Mix well. Refrigerate it until needed.

  2. Prepare the jelly as per the instructions on the pouch. It usually sets in about 30 minutes. Once it has set, cut into cubes before adding in the Falooda.

  3. Soak the Sabja seeds in 3-4 tablespoons of water. It take about 20 minutes for it to hydrate. Set it aside while that happens.

  4. Ice cream was homemade. So that was made the day before.

  5. Cook the vermicelli as per the instruction on the pouch or use homemade. I used rice vermicelli. I cooked them for 5-6 minutes in 1.5 cups of boiling water. Drained them and washed them with chilled water to stop them from cooking any further.

  6. Keep the ready vermicelli aside.

Assemble -

  1. In a dessert/ tall glass, add 2 tsp. of soaked Sabja seeds. Top it with 1 tbsp. of rose syrup.

  2. Next, add 3 tbsp. of the cooked vermicelli (Falooda sev).

  3. Add cubed jelly/ Jell-O. Add 1/2 tsp of soaked Sabja seeds again.

  4. Repeat the above mentioned layers once again.

  5. Add 1/4 cup of chilled rose milk. Add some jelly/ Jello-O cubes and some more soaked Sabja seeds. Pour 1/2 tsp of rose syrup.

  6. Top it all with a scoop of ice cream. Garnish with cherries, nuts, etc. as per your preference. Make another portion following the same steps 

  7. Serve immedietely.
