Falooda- Felicitous Dessert Noodles 

With the Kulfi season just around the corner, how can Folooda lag behind?

Falooda is to Kulfi what icing is to cake and that little cherry to your favorite pineapple pastry.

Falooda, a hybrid between a dessert and drink, can be combined in creative ways to embellish the sweet course of your meal.

This interesting looking edible can be a luxurious topping to your favorite Kulfi or adornment on the fruit salad.

The story behind the invention of these jelly-like noodles is as fascinating as the dish itself. History tells us that Akbar’s son’s Jahangir had a penchant for all things innovative. This ambrosial concoction was created by the royal cooks of the Mughal era. They cooked wheat strainings in sweet syrups and cream till this jelly-like drink was brewed to perfection.

Interestingly, the drink that blended so well with the royal and the mighty gently spread its aroma worldwide.

  1. Soak basil seeds for an hour in water. Immerse them well so that they get enough room to swell.
  2. In a pot of boiling water, add vermicelli noodles and cook till they become tender.
  3. Strain the noodles using a strainer. Run under cold water for a minute.
  4. In a tall glass, add basil seeds, saffron strands, falooda noodles, milk, and rose syrup. You can even mix milk and rose syrup together and pour it as a mixture. Do not stir the mixture so that falooda soaks well in the rose syrup.
  5. Add milk and ice cream on top. 
  6. Garnish the dessert-drink with chopped nuts or jelly.
  7. You can spruce up the drink by adding rose petals.
