Shahi Falooda

Shahi Falooda

I always thought that Falooda is some exotic dessert not meant for us mortals :). A few months back we were treated to this dessert at a friend's place and we were super impressed and I had to change my opinion! 

Ever since the first taste, we have treated scores of people and got them hooked to this delicious crowd pleaser!!

This dessert is so flexible that we can enjoy with as little ingredients as 3-4 or can make it as elaborate as 7-8 ingredients.

This would be perfect for a summer dessert. This coolant for day 2 week 3 of BM #27.

Basic ingredients -
Semiya Payasam/Vermicelli Kheer 1 cup
