    Falooda is the king of ice creams. It is a dessert which is quite popular in Indian sub-continent. You will always find a special falooda counter at many weddings that looks quite classy. After all, the goodness of kulfi, rabdi or ice-cream is enhanced to a new level when we serve it as faluda.

    You can gauge the popularity of the dessert by the number of falooda mixes available in India and abroad. Although a mix may give you all the ingredients, I am yet to find a top notch mix.The one that we tried was too sweet,full of artificial colors and did not seem something that I could happily give to my little one. I feel making it from scratch ensures we eat a good quality dessert. Also, it saves money as you buy individual items in bulk. You can make falooda with ice cream as many times you want.

    What is Falooda ice cream made of?

    Generally, we use dollops of vanilla, strawberry, tutti frutti or butterscotch. In a goblet, add ice cream and rose or butter scotch syrup. If you do not have rose syrup, good old Rooh Afza works. Layer it with sweet basil seeds or sabja seeds, cooked rice noodles, chopped nuts.  You can also add jelly in different colors to make it interesting. Kids can help you serve. It gets them interested in cooking too. Serve it fresh and beat the heat.

    Basically, a dessert you should eat for special occasions. Also do not look at the calories. Otherwise, you will not be able to enjoy it. You can serve this at any Holi party, valentines day or summer reunions.

    How to make falooda?

    Falooda sev/rice noodles

    1. Depending on the rice noodle you have picked, you can either cook them in milk or water. I choose to cook them in  hot water and transfer to a bowl of cold water.

    For cooking the rice noodles ,please follow the instructions on the packet, else cook them for 3-5 minutes in boiled water and then drain the excess water and move to cold water.

    Sabja/Chia seeds

    1 . Soak sabja seeds in water for 3-4 hours. They will soften and swell up. These seeds resemble chia. These seeds have a cooling effect on the body. Perfect to beat the summer heat. If you cannot find these basil seeds, use chia instead

    FAQ

    Sabja seeds or basil seeds are used. These tukmaria seeds are usually used but if you cannot find it, use chia instead.

    Which is the best place to have falooda?

    Badshah in Crawford market, Bachelorr’s and Haji Ali juice center all are known for its Kulfi falooda in Mumbai. It is very similar to Gadbad ice cream in Karnataka. That was quite a revelation when we went to Mangalore and Udupi. Had an amazing time in this quaint little district. Mangalore is as famous for its ice creams as it is for its roses. Pabba's is the place to go for great ice-cream.

        hi Saranya
        Since I have used plain rice noodles , I would suggest to follow the instructions on the packet, else cook them for 3-5 minutes in boiled water and then drain the excess water and move to cold water.
        For storage, you can store these noodles in cold water in the fridge for upto 2 days.

        Thanks
