WATCH HOW TO MAKE WATERMELON ROSE FALOODA:

Let’s make a quick version of rabdi in just ten minutes using breadcrumbs to thicken it. Bring your milk up to a boil and add in breadcrumbs or you can also use cornstarch or milk powder. Stir this gently and let it thicken as it simmers. Add in condensed milk, rose syrup, and elaichi to finish our silky and floral rabdi.

For the watermelon, we’re going to shape these small individual cups that are the cutest way to present out faloodas!

To assemble, spread the rose rabdi, add the watermelon, our falooda noodles, vanilla ice cream, sabza (basil) seeds, chopped nuts, and rose syrup.

You can totally customize how to serve this dreamy falooda and you can even set this in a larger tray or glasses. Make the rabdi a day ahead and assemble when you’re ready to eat!

Ingredients

Rabdi:

• 3 cups whole milk
• 1/2 cup condensed milk
• 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
• 2 tbsp red rose syrup
• 2 slices bread , grinded

Falooda:

• 1 watermelon
• vanilla ice cream , store-bought
• 2 cup falooda sev noodles , store-bought
• 2 tbsp basil seeds (sabja seeds) , soaked in 1/2 cup water

Garnish:

• pistachio , slivered
• almonds , slivered
• red rose syrup
• edible gold foil

Instructions

Rabdi:

1. For the rabdi, in a pan add milk. Let this simmer for 7-8 minutes on medium-low heat.

2. Then, add the grinded bread into your milk and mix vigorously to ensure no lumps form. I added this to get the texture silkier and thicker without having to cook the milk for too long. This helps it remain lighter and is quicker to make.
3. Bring this mixture to a boil and stir for 2-3 minutes. Then, add in your condensed milk, cardamom powder, and rose syrup that will help achieve that beautiful peachy pink color. We’re looking for a pouring consistency so don’t make this too thick. Give this a mix and take it off the heat. Strain the mixture for a smoother consistency and set this aside.

Assemble:

1. Take your watermelon and cut it into 8 square pieces. Then, scoop out the center of the watermelon to make it a cup.

2. Lay down a layer of rabri, and then place your watermelon cup on top. Add in your falooda noodles, vanilla ice cream and sabja seeds. Garnish with pistachio, almond, rose syrup, and gold foil. Your Watermelon Rose Falooda is ready, enjoy!
