Falooda Ice Cream Recipe | Royal Falooda

Falooda or faluda, is a very popular dessert in Mumbai. Though Iam in Bangalore for the past 6 years, I have not tasted it. I heard Sivaraj lassi bar is very famous for falooda in Bangalore. I have to taste once there.

 Last month I tasted this falooda in Saravana’s icecream parlour, Salem. I never thought I would make this at home. Thanks to Vanitha magazine and to my neighbour. She read the book and told the recipe to me. I have tried this thrice so far. Its a very easy & very tasty dessert recipe.

As you all know, falooda is a mixture of falooda sev, basil seeds( Sabza/Takmania), Jelly crystals, sugar syrup and ice cream. I bought falooda sev / vermicelli and falooda seeds from Nilgiris, Brigade road-Bangalore. Sabza / Takmania seeds is a best coolant for summer. This is a perfect dessert/drink to beat the summer heat. The best thing about this recipe is we can pre prepare all the ingredients and refrigerate it. Just mix everything and serve chilled whenever required & it tastes AWEWSUM !!. One sad thing is when I finished clicking, ice cream got melted and spreaded all over the glass.. Still then it was very tasty!

INGREDIENTS

1 cup-250ml

For 2 persons

Falooda sev / Vermicelli – 1/4 cup Boiled Milk – 1 cup ( adjust) Rose essence – Few drops Basil seeds / sabza / takmania seeds – 3 tbsp Sugar syrup -  4 tbsp Food color – Few drops ( yellow , green or any color) Strawberry jelly – 4 tbsp Mixed fruits – 1/4 cup ( apple , banana , pineapple etc) Vanilla Ice cream  - 4 scoops Chopped nuts – 1 tbsp (optional) Falooda glass – 2 nos

HOW TO MAKE FALOODA AT HOME - METHOD

Here is a picture of falooda sev and seeds. Prepare slightly thick sugar syrup ( gulab jamun syrup consistency) , add yellow food color and set aside. Make the strawberry jelly as per the directions given in the packet and keep it ready. Soak the falooda seeds in hot water till it bulges. Drain the excess water and keep aside.. Boil the falooda sev in milk till it cooks . Make sure it should not be mushy. After all the milk is drained , switch off the flame and add few drops of rose essence, mix well and set aside. Cut all the fruits into small pieces. For serving, take a falooda glass, add 2 tbsp of sugar syrup in the bottom. Then add 2 tbsp of soaked basil seeds on top of sugar syrup. Add 2 tbsp of chopped fruits & nuts, falooda sev, strawberry jelly on top of one another.. Finally add 2 scoops of ice cream and decorate with a cherry. Serve immediately !

Note

To make a falooda drink, add milk instead of ice cream. U can also add chopped nuts for more richness. Falooda sev can be replaced by payasam vermicelli/semiya. Basil seeds is a must for this recipe which makes this dessert healthy too.
