Chef Vineeth shared, “Soak the Sabja seeds in water for about 20-30 minutes. Once they swell, drain the extra water using a strainer and set the soaked seeds aside. Prepare the Falooda Sev according to package instructions. Some require just soaking it in warm water or you can cook them in hot water until softened. Boil water on medium to high heat. Add the Falooda Sev or your preferred choice of vermicelli. If they are long, then just break or chop them prior to cooking. Once cooked, using strainer or colander, drain the extra water. Then rinse the cooked Falooda Sev in fresh water. Drain the water again. Keep covered aside till they are cooled completely at room temperature.”

“Chop the nuts and set aside. In four tall glasses each, add 1.5-2 tablespoons rose syrup. Depending upon the sweetness preferred and the size of the glass add less or more of the rose syrup. Then add two tablespoons soaked sabja seeds. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the falooda sev. In a slow stream, pour about 1 cup milk. Then top with malai kulfi.Garnish with a few raisins, sliced pistachios, almonds or cashews. For a bright pop of color, you can decorate with a few glazed cherries or tutti-frutti. Prepare the remaining falooda drinks in the same way. Serve the falooda straight away. While drinking, with a spoon mix the rose syrup settled at the bottom with the milk and then drink as you eat the vermicelli, sabja seeds and nuts,” added the chef.
