Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 ml low fat milk
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 50 grams vermicelli
- 2 tablespoons rose syrup
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 sheets gelatin sheets
- 10 grams pistachios
- 2 scoops vanilla frozen yogurt
- 250 ml water
Instructions
Start by soaking the chia seeds in 100 ml of water. Let them sit for about 15 minutes until they swell and become gelatinous.
In a small saucepan, boil 250 ml of water. Add the vermicelli and cook for 5-6 minutes until they are tender. Drain them and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process, then set aside.
In a small bowl of cold water, soak the gelatin sheets to soften them for about 5 minutes. Once softened, drain and squeeze out excess water.
In a medium saucepan, heat the low fat milk over medium heat. Stir in the softened gelatin sheets, sugar, and rose syrup. Mix until the sugar and gelatin dissolve completely, then remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
Take two serving glasses. Divide the cooked vermicelli equally between the glasses and add the soaked chia seeds on top.
Pour the milk mixture evenly into the glasses, distributing it carefully so that it layers beautifully over the vermicelli and chia seeds.
Top each glass with a scoop of vanilla frozen yogurt.
Crush the pistachios and sprinkle them over the top for added crunch and garnish.
Serve immediately with a long spoon and straw, so you can enjoy the different textures and layers of this low fat falooda.
