#5 ingredients


Falooda is an Indian version of a cold dessert made with vermicelli. Very popular in India during summer season and is served in restaurants as well as street joints. Traditionally it is made by layering rose syrup, falooda sev, and sweet basil seeds with milk, and served with ice cream and nuts. Chia seeds are a great replacement for sweet basil seeds, and rice/ wheat vermicelli can replace the traditional falooda sev.
