DISH NAME : FALOODA
Preparation Time : 45 minutes
Chilling Time : 2 hours
Description
Falooda is a cold dessert popular in India. Though Falooda is layered like a sundae, it is named after the vermicelli that is used in the dish. Here i have used ready made vermicelli available. Purist of falooda makes the falooda or vermicelli from scratch.Falooda has its origins in Persia (Iran). This dessert was brought to India by Parsis. Traditionally it is made by mixing rose syrup, vermicelli, basil seeds, cubes of jelly made with gelatin.Traditionally vermicelli used for preparing falooda is made from arrowroot whereas vermicelli used in the Indian version is usually made from wheat.
Basil seeds / falooda seeds though looks like frog spawn, is a healthy seed. It is cooling and also aids in digestion.
Note
1) Add sugar to vermicelli only after vermicelli is cooked. Or it wont cook.
2) I have omitted rose milk in this recipe. Also vanilla essence is substituted with blue Curacao syrup. This syrup is available in shops selling baking items. Curacao pronounced 'kur uh sao", is a lime and orange flavored sugar syrupy drink concentrate available in different colors, the most famous being blue. It is mainly used in cocktails and mocktails.
