I fell for this the moment I had it and so began a love affair that has lasted all my life. My nieces had a craze for it some time ago and would hover around the kitchen until it was served. We introduced it to my girls successfully and enjoy it whenever we can. Faloodah is popular all over Asia and served in different ways. An adaptation of a Persian dessert, it was probably popularised by the Mughals. Call it whatever you want and make it any which way you like - falooda, faloodeh, faluda , bubble tea, nam manglak, with vermicelli, sev, noodles or tapioca pearls, this Indian Dessert has fast become everybody's favourite.
The Recipe
2 tbsp angel hair pasta; 1 cup cold milk; 2 tsp rose water; 1/4 cup red jelly (follow instructions on packet and reserve left over for the family to eat); 1 tsp sabza (basil seeds); 2 tbsp MTR Badam Mix; sprigs of mint for garnish.
