Falooda







After a long break, I am back. India trip was rather good, Mom and Dad are fine. Thanks for the concern and lovely enquiries girls, it really means so much.

Ingredients:

Extra fine vermicelli 1 cup
Basil seeds / takhmaria seeds 1-2 teaspoons
Roof Afsa (rose syrup) 1 table spoon
Vanilla icecream
Whole milk 4-6 cups
Sugar as per taste
Pistachios 10 crushed
Almonds sliced
Sarai Paruppu(no idea about its English name?!)2 spoons.

Method

Cook vermicelli for a brief 2 minutes and then rinse them in cold water. Set aside

Soak basil seeds in water or preferably milk for a about 10-20 minutes, once they bulge and give a nice appearance...its ready.

Now combine, vermecelli, soaked basil seeds, milk, sugar and rose syrup. Mix them well.

Serve them ina tall glass, add a scoop of vanila ice cream on the top...garnish with nuts.
