Falooda is a cross between a dessert and a drink. It's a cold, sweet, milk-based beverage with vermicelli noodles, jello or fruit, and a touch of rose.

Growing up falooda was a once-in-a-while treat meant only for special occasions because it was more expensive than other drinks such as lassi.

Ingredients and substitutes

Mango -I've used fresh mango because they are in season but you can also use frozen mango
Basil Seeds - I don't find basil seeds so I often use chia seeds. My kids love tapioca pearls so today I used those.
Noodles - I've used vermicelli but glass noodles can also be used. Of course, it can also be omitted.
Ice cream - I prefer to use vanilla but mango ice cream or mango kulfi works too.
Rose syrup - In India you can buy a bottle of red rose syrup which is traditionally used in falooda but over here we often use raspberry syrup with Maraschino cherries.
