5 Tips to Create the Perfect Choco Mango Basil Seed Falooda

By Deepali Verma

Soak Basil Seeds Properly

Take 1 tablespoon of basil (sabja) seeds and soak them in cold water for 15–20 minutes. Allow them to get fully swollen like in that perfect falooda texture.

Take Ripe Mangoes for Natural Sweetness

Select ripe mangoes and puree into a smooth pulp. This provides a good, sweet taste without the addition of extra sugar.

Chill Each Component Prior to Layering

Ensure the milk, mango pulp, and soaked basil seeds are chilled. This maintains the falooda cold and ensures that it does not melt at an early stage.

Layer Carefully for Optimal Texture

Begin with chocolate syrup, followed by basil seeds, cooked falooda sev, mango pulp, and cold milk. Repeat for additional layers. Reserve ice cream and nuts for the final layer.

Add Crunch and Cream towards the End

Finish with a scoop of ice cream, chopped nuts, and a drizzle of light chocolate. The crunch and creaminess complement the chewy and juicy layers to perfection.
