Including refrigerating a slab of strawberry flavored jelly.
And totally forgetting about the jelly until its too late.
Yeah, too late because I ran out of ingredients after gulping down the “heroes” for this photoshoot. Ice cream was scarce and lets face it, I lost the motivation to re-do the whole recipe.
The beauty of layered desserts like falooda is you can choose to omit or add any ingredients to your liking. Just don’t forget to eventually use it here.
Now what should I do with a slab of unused chilled strawberry jelly?!
Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup flavored jelly, cold
- A handful of falooda sev (vermicelli), softened & cooled
- 1 tbsp basil seeds, bloomed in 1/4 cup of water
- 1 cup cold milk, add 2 tsp rose water
- 1 cup cold milk, add 1.5 tbsp rose syrup
- vanilla kulfi/ice cream
optional toppings: cherries, nuts, seeds etc
Directions:
- Layer tall chilled glasses with bloomed basil seeds, vermicelli (sev) and flavored jelly. Top it with scoops of vanilla ice cream. Layer it all with drizzles of rose water milk and rose syrup milk.
- Sprinkle on your favorite toppings. Serve falooda with a spoon and straw.
Have you tried falooda before? If not, what are you waiting for? 😀

I love the idea of putting basil seeds into a dessert – I will make it, just to see, how does this nice looking dish tastes like 🙂

This is the second falooda recipe I’ve seen in the last two days! Must be the season. I do love a good falooda but never made my own. In Houston, there’s a great kulfi place where I can get my kulfi and falooda fix.
I know it’s easy enough and you make it look so beautiful. Haven’t found a kulfi place in Denver so I guess I’ll be making my own!

This looks so fabulous Kiran. Would a similar rice noodle work? Your photos are gorgeous too….where to get rose water and rose syrup in my neck of the woods? Maybe a middle eastern store? Sounds so so good! I bet a good coconut vanilla ice cream would be delicious too. 🙂

I had not even heard of falooda before, but you’ve sent me around to Wikipedia and YouTube learning about it. I hope I will enjoy some, if not at home then on some grand trip to India.
