a popular Indian summer cold dessert which is a layer of milk, rose syrup, sabja seeds, falooda sev, toppings and ice-cream
What is Falooda ?
Variation to the traditional Falooda :
- If the falooda sev prepared with corn flour is not available then the sevayian of wheat flour, sago etc can be opted. I have not used the falooda sev and instead of that I have used regular vermicelli or sevayian of wheat flour.
- The flavors are being changed by using mango, strawberry, rabdi, chocolate etc in place of rose.
- To make this Vegan dessert, you may use plant based milks like almond milk and vegan ice cream as well.
