Mango Custard Falooda | Mango Dessert | Easy Falooda – with step by step photos, description and video of the recipe is here. Delicious layered dessert made using combination of fresh mango, vermicelli and sabja seeds/basil seeds. A yummy dessert made during mango season.
Firstly, Falooda or rabri faluda is a South Asian version of a cold dessert made with noodles. It originated from the Persian dish ‘Faloodeh’ variants of which are found across West, Central, and South Asia. Traditionally it is made by mixing rose syrup, vermicelli, and sweet basil seeds with milk, often served with ice cream.
Furthermore, I had royal falooda at a restaurant few years back. Mango falooda tastes little different as I have used fresh mangoes which adds the flavour, also the custard powder adds more flavour to this. This is a very simple dessert with so many flavours in it. Mango being the king of fruits, it suits to the desserts as well as and other recipes like Mango Salsa kind of dishes too.
Moreover I’m seeing many posts on social media about the mango desserts this mango season. So I thought of trying Mango falooda in my own way by giving it a little twist by adding custard powder.
For this recipe, you need to cook vermicelli or semiya in milk. Also need to soak the sabja seeds or basil seeds in water as a pre-preparation for falooda. Consistency can be varied like you can either make it thick to thin, adjust by adding milk to it.
Before going to the recipe, I would like highlight some of the other recipes here.
