Ingredients
For the Vermicelli and Milk Base
- 1 cup Vermicelli
- 0.75 ltr Milk
- 3 Tbsp Sugar
For the Rose Syrup
- Rose Syrup to taste
For the Sabja Seeds
- 2 Tbsp Sabja Seeds
- 2 tsp Sugar
- 1.5 cup Water
For Assembling and Garnishing
- Strawberry Jelly chopped, to taste
- Vanilla Ice Cream as needed
- Cherries as needed, for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the vermicelli in boiling water until tender. This ensures a pleasant texture.
- Immediately rinse the cooked vermicelli under cold water. This stops the cooking process and prevents it from becoming mushy.
- In a saucepan, simmer the milk over medium heat for 10-13 minutes, stirring occasionally. This gentle heating enhances the milk's flavor.
- Add the cooked vermicelli and 3 tablespoons of sugar to the simmering milk. Stir well and cook for another 5 minutes. This allows the vermicelli to absorb the sweet milk.
- Remove the milk mixture from the heat and let it cool completely. Once cooled, refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
- In a bowl, combine the sabja seeds, 2 teaspoons of sugar, and 1.5 cups of water. Soak for 30 minutes. The sugar helps to metabolize the sabja seeds and adds a touch of sweetness.
- Refrigerate the sabja seed mixture until ready to serve.
- Chill the serving glasses for at least 30 minutes before assembling the falooda. This keeps the dessert cold for longer.
- To assemble, start with a layer of chopped strawberry jelly in the chilled glass.
- Pour the chilled rose-infused vermicelli milk over the jelly. Add rose syrup to taste.
- Add the soaked sabja seeds on top of the milk mixture.
- Crown the falooda with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Garnish with chopped strawberry jelly and a cherry.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Using slightly less water than directed on store-bought jelly packets can result in a better consistency.
- Rinsing vermicelli under cold water after boiling and tossing with rose syrup prevents clumping and adds flavor.
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, bloom the rose syrup in a little warm milk before adding it to the rest of the ingredients.
- If using fresh rose petals, steep them in warm milk for about 30 minutes to infuse a delicate rose flavor.
- Adjust the sweetness of the dessert by adding more or less sugar to the milk mixture, depending on your preference and the sweetness of the other ingredients.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover phirni in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Garnish with fresh nuts or rose petals just before serving.
