Ingredients
For the Mango Purée
- 1 cup Mango Purée
For the Falooda
- 1 ½ cup Milk
- 2 Mangoes for purée and garnish, ripe
- 2 Tbsp Sabja Seeds basil seeds
- 2 Tbsp Vermicelli Noodles broken into smaller pieces
- 4 scoop Mango Ice Cream
- ½ cup Cream whipped
For the Garnish
- 3 Pistachios sliced
- 4 Cherries
Instructions
- Chill two serving glasses and ½ cup of water in the freezer. This will help keep the falooda cool.
- In a saucepan, bring the milk to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until it reduces from 1 ½ cups to 1 cup. This concentrates the milk's flavor. Chill the reduced milk in the refrigerator.
- Peel and chop the mangoes. Set aside ½ cup of chopped mango for garnish. Purée the remaining mango until smooth. Add sugar to taste, adjusting according to the sweetness of the mangoes. If the purée is too thick, add a little water to thin it out.
- Place the sabja seeds in a small bowl and pour ¼ cup of cold water over them. Set aside to soak. The seeds will swell and become gelatinous.
- In a saucepan, bring ½ cup of water to a boil. Add the vermicelli noodles and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until translucent. Drain the hot water and immediately add the cooked vermicelli to the chilled water from the freezer. This stops the cooking process and keeps the noodles from becoming mushy.
- Strain the sabja seeds and vermicelli noodles. Now, you're ready to layer your falooda.
- In the chilled glasses, begin layering the ingredients. You can repeat the layers as desired. A good starting point is 1 tablespoon of sabja seeds, 1 tablespoon of vermicelli noodles, some chopped mango pieces, a layer of chilled reduced milk, and a layer of mango purée. Repeat these layers once or twice.
- Pipe or spoon whipped cream on top of each glass. Add two scoops of mango ice cream.
- Garnish with sliced pistachios and cherries. Serve immediately and enjoy the cool, refreshing treat.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- To prevent your falooda from becoming watery, chill all components—mango puree, milk, and cooked vermicelli—thoroughly before layering, and assemble just before serving.
- For added texture, consider layering small cubes of fresh mango along with the puree.
- For a vegan version, substitute dairy milk with almond or coconut milk and use a plant-based mango ice cream.
- Lightly toast the pistachios before chopping to intensify their flavor and add a noticeable crunch.
Expert Tips
- Adjust the sweetness of the mango puree to your liking by adding a touch of sugar or honey if needed.
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat milk or coconut milk.
- Experiment with different toppings like chopped dates, dried cranberries, or a sprinkle of rose water for added fragrance.
Storage Instructions
- Falooda is best enjoyed fresh. However, leftover components (like the mango puree and cooked vermicelli) can be stored separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Combine and assemble just before serving.
