Falooda is a popular summer dessert in India. Originally from Iran, this drink is enjoyed not only in Iran but also in India, Pakistan, Myanmar, Bangladesh, the Middle East, and Turkey. In India, Falooda was introduced by the Parsi community who migrated from Iran. Falooda is made with basil seeds (sabja), falooda noodles, rose syrup, and milk. You can also add ice cream. Besides rose falooda, it can be made with mango, strawberry, pistachio, saffron, chocolate, and various fruits. Since it's mango season, today I've made mango falooda.
