Ingredients
- ½ tablespoon basil seeds or substitute chia seeds
- 1 cup water 240ml
- ¾ oz vermicelli noodles 21g (gives ½ cup cooked noodles) - falooda sev, traditionally, but any fine noodles will work
- 2 tablespoon rose syrup
- 1 cup milk 240ml
Instructions
- Put the basil seeds in a bowl or jug and cover with the water. Leave for at least 20-30 minutes, or a little longer to soak and expand.
- Cook the noodles according to packet instructions, drain and set aside.
- Drain the basil seeds then divide them between two glasses (you should have around 2 ½ tablespoon in each). Top with the cooked noodles then a tablespoon of rose syrup in each.
- Top each of the glasses with milk and serve.
Notes
Some versions add some cubes of jello (rose, strawberry or raspberry flavor) after the basil seeds. You can also top the glasses with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. If you do, it works to decorate the top with some chopped dried fruit and nuts to serve.
The rose syrup is typically colored - if it is not, then add a little food coloring to the syrup or milk. (Note nutritional info is approximate as will vary with brand of rose syrup and any variation in quantity used)
