  • Vanilla or rose ice cream – 1 big scoop
  • Chopped dry fruits – almonds pistachios, cashews
  • Tutti frutti – for extra color and crunch optional
  • Cherries or rose petals – for garnish

Instructions

  • Prepare the jelly: If using store-bought jelly, follow instructions on package and keep it ready the previous day. Cut it into small cubes and rkeep it efrigerated.
  • Soak sabja seeds in water and let them sit in water for 15–20 minutes until they swell and become gelatinous. Drain off excess water so drink is not diluted.
  • Cook the falooda sev by Boiling the vermicelli in water until soft, drain, rinse in cold water, and set aside. Keep it in some water until ready to assemble else it will clump up.
  • Chill the milk: Sweeten the milk if needed and chill it in the fridge.
  • Assemble the layers:
    Take a tall glass.
    Add 1 tbsp rose syrup / Strawberry syrup to the bottom of a tall glass.
    Add soaked sabja seeds.
    Layer with falooda sev.
    Add jelly cubes and dry fruits.
    Pour in the chilled milk slowly to avoid mixing layers.
    Top with a generous scoop of ice cream.
    Repeat layers till the top rim of the glass.
    Garnish with nuts, tutti frutti, and a cherry or rose petal and more syrup on top.
    Instead of straw a long spoon would be ideal.

Notes

Do make sure the jelly is firm else the it will simply mix up with milk and loose its texture.
adding too much milk can make the drink runny. add more texture than liquids.
