Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Whole Milk
- 1 oz Falooda Sev (vermicelli)
- 2 tbsp Basil Seeds (Sabja seeds)
- 4 tbsp Sugar
- 0.5 cup Rose Syrup
- 4 scoops Vanilla Ice Cream
- 2 tbsp Pistachios (chopped)
Instructions
Begin by soaking 2 tablespoons of basil seeds in a cup of water for at least 15 minutes until they swell up. Drain the excess water and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of whole milk to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and add 4 tablespoons of sugar. Stir until completely dissolved. Remove from heat and allow it to cool.
Meanwhile, prepare the falooda sev by boiling 1 oz of vermicelli according to package instructions. Typically, this takes around 3-4 minutes. Once cooked, drain the water and rinse the vermicelli with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
Divide the cooked falooda sev equally into 4 serving glasses. Pour 1/2 cup of rose syrup over the vermicelli in each glass.
Add the soaked basil seeds to each glass, distributing them evenly.
Pour the chilled milk over the layers in each glass, almost filling it to the top.
Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to each serving glass, allowing it to float on top.
Garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped pistachios, distributing them equally among the servings.
Serve immediately with a spoon and a straw, enjoying the delicious layers of flavors and textures.
