• there is no need to add any sugar as the sweetness of the rose syrup is enough to make the falooda sweet. you can also add strawberry flavored jelly to the falooda.
• top with a few dry fruits or vanilla ice cream and your falooda is ready. for the ice cream, you can easily use ice creams or kulfi like pistachio ice cream or mango ice cream or malai kulfi or mango kulfi.

preparation to make falooda recipe

1. soak the sabja seeds in enough water for about 30 mins. when they swell up, drain them and keep aside.

2. prepare the falooda sev according to package instructions. some require just soaking the falooda sev in warm water. i had to cook them in boiling water much like noodles. once they are cooked, rinse them in water and keep aside. just chop them before cooking if they are long. the ones i had got, were already small sized.

3. in about 4 tall serving glasses each, add the rose syrup first. you can add about 1.5 to 2 tbsp rose syrup depending on your taste as well as the size of the glass. 2 tbsp of rose syrup make it more sweet.

4. then add the soaked and drained sabja seeds.

5. add the falooda sev.

6. add about ¾ to 1 cup chilled milk in a slow stream taking care that the milk does not mix with the rose syrup and the sabja seeds. the layers have to be visible and that is what makes the falooda visually appealing.

8. top the falooda with sliced pistachios, golden raisins and sliced almonds. serve falooda with ice cream immediately.
