How to make Rose falooda?

Making Rose Falooda at home is simple and fun, especially if you have everything prepped in advance. You can find ready-made Rose Falooda kits at most Indian or international grocery stores.

These usually include essentials like basil seeds (sabja), falooda sev (vermicelli noodles), and rose syrup. Alternatively, you can purchase each ingredient separately based on your preference.

Before you begin assembling, make sure the following are ready:

• Soaked and bloomed basil seeds
• Cooked falooda noodles
• Prepared and cooled strawberry-flavored Jell-O
• Chilled milk
• Other add-ins like chopped fruits and dates

To Assemble:

Start by pouring rose syrup into a tall glass. Add chilled milk over the syrup, layer in the basil seeds and falooda noodles.

Spoon in the strawberry-flavored Jell-O, followed by chopped fruits and dates. Top it off with a generous scoop of rose or vanilla ice cream.

Garnish with chopped nuts or a drizzle of rose syrup for extra flair.

And that's it! Your refreshing, layered Rose Falooda is ready to serve, perfect for cooling off on a warm day or as a treat for guests.

Useful Tips and Tricks

• Customize your layers: There are no hard rules, add what you love! Mix and match with flavored ice creams, different fruits.
• Rose syrup is key: The rose syrup brings the signature flavor and color to this dessert. Rooh Afza is a popular and flavorful choice. If you have time, you can even make your rose syrup using dried rose petals and sugar, but store-bought works wonderfully when you're short on time.
• Soak basil seeds in advance: Sabja seeds (basil seeds) need to be soaked for at least 4 hours to fully bloom. They add a fun, jelly-like texture and help keep you cool in the summer heat.
• Use the right noodles: Falooda noodles are thin and silky, and usually come with ready-made falooda kits or can be bought separately. Boil them for about 5 to 6 minutes, rinse under cold water, and set aside. If you can't find them, vermicelli or any other thin noodle will work as a substitute.
• Keep ingredients chilled: Make sure your milk, fruits, and Jell-O are cold before assembling. This helps keep the falooda refreshing.
• Prep ahead: Have everything ready to go-cold milk, vanilla (or rose) ice cream, chopped fruits (like apples, bananas, or dates), and nuts (pistachios, almonds, cashews). This makes assembly quick and mess-free.
• Add pretty garnishes: A sprinkle of dried rose petals makes the dessert visually stunning. For a playful twist, especially for kids, add a layer of strawberry Jell-O between the noodles and ice cream.
