It’s the summer season and we all want to beat the heat with some summer drinks. We were really thinking Falooda would be an interesting choice if you could make it at home and something that just tastes yum.

What is Falooda?
Falooda has its own origin from a Persian Dish in Iran called Faloodeh. Traditionally, it is made by mixing rose syrup with milk, vermicelli, basil seeds and topped with ice cream. Faloodeh traveled to Medival India during the 16th Century and the present form of the recipe was developed by the Mughals. The Persian rulers who succeeded over the Mughals patronized the dish and made different variations of the recipe.

There are plenty of benefits of having Falooda at home. The recipe includes sabja seeds which are basil seeds and is a great source of fibre. These seeds have a lot of cooling properties that help in digestion and cures constipation. Some studies have suggested that Basil seeds also have immunity-boosting properties. Plus, it is a great alternative to Chia seeds.

Today, in India, Falooda is famous on the streets of India and you can find it literally in every state of India. As you move from the west to east India, you will find small variations of the recipe but overall the base ingredients like sabja seeds, vermicelli, rose milk and ice cream are left untouched. In some states, people also refer to it as Faluda.

There are countless places in India known for their Falooda or their variation of the recipe. I remember so many places where I have tried it and really loved the refreshing taste. Places like the Hanumante Ice Cream in Surat have become famous by selling Falooda and their employees are known to be the Fastest Falooda makers in the world.

Apart from the original, there is another type of Falooda which is pretty famous as well called the Kulfi Falooda. In this variation, pieces of Kulfi (Indian Dairy Dessert) are added to the Falooda instead of the rose milk. In addition, Rabdi or Rabri which is a condensed milk dessert is also added to the mix. This dessert is usually served in small bowls or pyala’s and is one of the most popular variations of Faluda.

I thought everyone shares the normal recipe, but it would great if I teach you how to make Kulfi Falooda at home. I wanted some inspiration for this recipe. I remember trying an amazing Kesar Falooda on the streets of Sarafa Bazar in Indore from a famous street vendor named Goldman – Goldy Singh. I really loved their recipe. I thought lets make this one at home.
