    Blogging Marathon# 52: Week 1/ Day 3

    Theme: Parsi Dishes

    Dish: Parsi Falooda

    For the final day of this week's 'Parsi Dishes' I made this colorful dessert drink called Falooda. I wanted to make Parsi mawa cakes, but after all the sweet bakes from last month's marathon, I didn't want anymore extra calories. So the mawa cakes will have to wait for some time later.

    Instead I made this rich and delicious Falooda drink. I had falooda bookmarked to make for a very loooong time and finally got a chance to make it. I didn't really know Falooda was a Parsi dish until I started looking for Parsi dessert recipes. It is an Iranian cold dessert drink called faloodeh, consisting of thin vermicelli noodles mixed in a semi-frozen syrup made from sugar and rose water.

    The weather is getting warmer in our neck of woods and this drink is perfect as a refreshing afternoon drink in summer. Basil seeds/ tukhmaria seeds are an essential ingredient in this dish. The seeds need to be soaked for a little bit of time when it swell up twice their size. They have amazing health benefits -- read about it here.

    Another important ingredients are rose syrup and falooda noodles. Falooda noodles are made from corn flour and water. I bought a pack from the Indian grocery store and they worked great. All in all this drink is full of flavor and textures that is a perfect summer treat.

    [wpurp-searchable-recipe]Parsi Falooda - Falooda is is an Iranian cold dessert drink called faloodeh, consisting of thin vermicelli noodles mixed in a semi-frozen syrup made from sugar and rose water. - Tukhmaria seeds/ Basil seeds, Falooda sev/ noodles, cut into small pieces, Rose syrup, Milk, Condensed milk (adjust as per taste preference), Vanilla Ice cream, Almonds & Pistachios - few, chopped for garnish, Soak tukhmaria seeds in 2tbsp water and set aside for 15~20 minutes. They will swell up and be ready when are ready to make the falooda.; Cook the falooda noodles according to the package instructions. I read some of the noodles only need to be soaked in water while I had to boil mine for 10~12 minutes. Then drain and rinse under cold water. Now the noodles are ready to serve.; Combine milk and condensed milk. Mix well to incorporate. Alternately you can add just sugar to milk and use.; To assemble: Add 1tbsp rose syrup in the bottom of the serving glass. Place half of the tukhmaria seeds on top followed by half of the cooked falooda noodles.; Slowly pour in half of the milk -- make sure not to disturb the rose syrup layer. Then add the 1~2 scoops of vanilla ice cream. Sprinkle the chopped nuts on top. Make the other glass of falooda and serve immediately.; [/wpurp-searchable-recipe]
