How to Make Falooda

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of cornflour and 1/2 cup of water until smooth.
  2. Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until it becomes clear and thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Pour the mixture into a fine-mesh sieve placed over a bowl of ice water.
  4. Gently press the mixture through the sieve with the back of a spoon to create vermicelli-like strands. The strands will solidify in the ice water.
  5. Let the vermicelli sit in the ice water for at least 30 minutes. Drain well.
  6. In a saucepan, heat the milk and sugar until the sugar dissolves. Let cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Soak the cellophane noodles in warm water until softened. Boil for a few minutes until transparent and then cut into short lengths.
  8. In serving glasses, add 2 tablespoons of basil seeds and 2 tablespoons of the prepared cornflour vermicelli (or cellophane noodles).
  9. Pour in the chilled milk.
  10. Add rose syrup and crushed ice to taste.
  11. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
  12. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Falooda!
