The Best Falooda Recipe (Falooda With Ice Cream)


 

Falooda ingredients and substitutions

Ingredients needed to make homemade falooda, with labels.

MAIN INGREDIENTS FOR HOMEMADE FALOODA DRINK

  • Milk (non-dairy milk is fine too), or thick sweet milk
  • Falooda syrup

OPTIONAL ADD-INS

  • Vanilla ice cream (non-dairy ice cream works too)
  • Tukmaria seeds, soaked
  • Roasted vermicelli, cooked 
  • Red strawberry jello (or strawberry jelly for my non-North American readers)
  • Green or yellow jello 

ROSE SYRUP

Rose syrup is one of the two most important ingredients for faluda. This syrup gives the drink its characteristic flavor AND color!

In Sri Lanka, we exclusively use falooda syrup that we can buy from stores. You can also buy rose syrup from stores, but the color and strength of the syrup might vary a little then.

I make my own rose syrup at home that is great for making this classic falooda, as well as other drinks and cocktails (like this blushing ginger rose fizz or rose cocktail, or this vanilla rose and white chocolate cocktail aka falooda cocktail).

You can also use rooh afza sherbet rose syrup or sharbat syrup.

Rooh afza vs rose syrup

Rose syrup is made with rose water (or rose extract), and sugar (and maybe some preservatives). Rooh afza is different from regular rose syrup. The flavors are stronger in rooh

Flour All-purpose flour gives the buttermilk and seasonings something to stick to, while ensuring a wonderfully crispy crust. Seasonings This crispy fried chicken recipe calls for paprika (which helps with browning), salt, and pepper. You can add more spices and seasonings to taste. Oil Vegetable oil is perfect for frying chicken because it has a high smoke point. Directions step 1 : Take your cut up chicken pieces and skin them if you prefer. step 2: Put the flour in a large plastic bag ( let the amount of chicken you are cooking dictate the amount of flour you use) . Season the flour with paprika, salt and pepper to taste (paprika helps to brown the chicken). DOTDASH MEREDITH FOOD STUDIOS step 3:...

Mughlai paratha

  This Moglai Porota gained its prominence in the Cabin Menus as crispy pastry sheets were filled with mildly spicy minced meat filling. It would be devoured with a cup of  Gorom Cha  aka Tea.
