falooda recipe with step by step photos – falooda is one dessert beverage which is our favorite. i don’t have a single recipe of a basic falooda or its variations except for a vegan recipe of strawberry falooda made with almond milk.
i often make falooda during the summers. just it did not click to me that i don’t have a recipe of falooda on the blog. sabja or sweet basil seeds are always at home. since i add them often to our lemonades (nimbu pani). rose syrup and rooh afza are also there and so is falooda sev.
so you see the basic falooda can be made with just four ingredients – soaked sabja seeds, rose syrup or rooh afza, falooda sev (these are vermicelli made from corn starch) and chilled milk. there is no need to add any sugar as the sweetness of the rose syrup is enough to make the falooda sweet. you can also add strawberry flavored jelly to the falooda. top with a bit of fry fruits or vanilla ice cream and your falooda is ready. you have to have this dessert drink with spoon.
falooda is equally popular all over india specially in delhi and mumbai. its not only delicious but also very cooling for the summers as sabja seeds and rooh afza are cooling in nature. there is another variation of kulfi falooda in which kulfi is served with falooda and sabja seeds. two more delicious variation are kesar pista falooda and mango falooda recipe.
the falooda recipe can be veganized, by using chilled almond milk and a vegan ice cream. if you do not have falooda sev, substitute whole wheat vermicelli instead.
since the falooda recipe is very easy, sharing a few steps:
1. soak the sabja seeds in enough water for about 30 mins. when they swell up, drain them and keep aside.
2. prepare the falooda sev according to package instructions. some require just soaking the falooda sev in warm water. i had to cook them in boiling water much like noodles. once they are cooked, rinse them in water and keep aside. just chop them before cooking if they are long. the ones i had got, were already small sized.
3. in about 4 tall serving glasses each, add the rose syrup first. you can add about 1.5 to 2 tbsp rose syrup depending on your taste as well as the size of the glass. 2 tbsp of rose syrup make it more sweet.
4. then add the soaked and drained sabja seeds.
5. add the falooda sev.
6. add about 3/4 to 1 cup chilled milk in a slow stream taking care that the milk does not mix with the rose syrup and the sabja seeds. the layers have to be visible and that is what makes the falooda visually appealing.
7. finally add a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
8. top with sliced pistachios, golden raisins and sliced almonds. serve falooda immediately.
