Falooda
Falooda is a chilled dessert that consists of layers of vermicelli, soaked basil seeds, jelly, rose syrup and ice cream. One can even add a layer of fruits if needed. This dessert is yet another favourite of ours, especially during summers. I got this recipe from my Mother-in-law. This recipe should be sufficient for 4 servings.
