Falooda belongs to the Indian street food Category. It is a good drink as well as good dessert also. We can make royale falooda or simple falooda of our chice. But the main ingredient is falooda sev, subja seed and chilled milk of any flavor. I bought this Falooda sev from Hyderabad. It was very thin, so it was overcooked. You can keep an eye while cooking falooda sev. You can use normal vermicelli also.
