Niru Faluda, 290 ml

Product Information

With an unusual, but fun, mix of textures and a gently sweet, rose-scented flavor, falooda is a great dessert-like drink that’s perfect on a warm day. At this point there was a serious debate between us as to whether 0/10 is a valid score. In the end we decided that it is (just about) possible to have a drink with a worse flavour, although it’s hard to imagine a drink with a worse texture.

No. By the time I have finished my sniff, white floaty clumps of debris begin to rise to the surface of the liquid, crushing what little optimism I have left. BITCH YOU THOUGHT.

What is falooda?

Autofac.Core.Activators.Delegate.DelegateActivator.ActivateInstance(IComponentContext context, IEnumerable parameters) Sweetened rose syrup, is a must in this recipe! It adds refreshing aromas and sweetness to the drink. Some of the brands that I recommend are Guruji (available in Indian grocery stores), Monin, and Rooh Afza. Tip: This syrup is also perfect for making many refreshing summery drinks including my favorite - simple rose water with chia or basil seeds. Easy to make: It looks like there are so many different elements in the falooda recipe but prepping all of them is super easy. Keep them ready and assemble the falooda in under 2 minutes. I didn’t get any basil seeds in my first mouthful so, for science, I decide to take a bigger gulp from the bottom of the glass and… well, my head is just swimming with words…

Once it sets like jelly, cut it into small pieces. Keep it aside or store in the refrigerator in an airtight container to keep it chilled. This makes more amount of jelly than required for 4 servings. Falooda is made primarily from rose syrup, vermicelli noodles, basil seeds and milk. Some versions are topped with a scoop of ice cream and/or have some jelly in it as well.The flavour takes a while to unfold on your tongue, beginning as a very diluted sugary taste, then developing into an artificial powdery approximation of rose before ending on a big, oily faux cream tang. It is not good. Noodles - thin noodles known as falooda sev, made of corn starch or tapioca flour are often added to falooda. Some people make their own noodles from scratch, but I prefer buying them ready-made. To use, simply boil them in hot water for 5 minutes, pour in a colander, rinse them off with cold water, and drain the water completely.

It is easily available in any Indian or Pakistani grocery store. It comes in yellow or white color, you can choose any.It is believed to have been brought to India and the region by Persian merchants in the Middle Ages, and can be found in one form or another in many parts of South Asia, and beyond. This summer drink is super cooling to your body, as sabja seeds (basil seeds) and rose syrup have cooling properties that help to beat the heat in the summer months. ❤️ You’ll Love This Falooda Recipe There is no milk in this drink, but instead water and “non-dairy creamer”. Confusingly, this is listed as a milk allergen because it’s made of the milk protein (and safety match binder!) casein. Hmm. The faluda also contains everyone’s favourite insect derived E number: cochineal. Hmmmmmmmm. The drink does fortunately contain genuine basil seeds. In Iran you will find faloodeh, but it will look a little different from this. Both use vermicelli noodles and are flavored with rose, but the Persian faloodeh is generally more of a frozen dessert. Falooda (or faluda, faloodah) is popular across the Indian subcontinent, but has it’s origins in Persia.
