This exclusive recipe multiplies the kick of having a falooda with the joy of having a luscious smoothie.

Instead of the usual falooda in which milk, ice-cream and falooda sev and seeds are layered, here we make a creamy, rose-tinged smoothie of ice-cream and milk and top it with falooda sev and seeds, to benefit from their unique mouth-feel.

A garnish of rose petals adds to the visual appeal of this smoothie, making it totally irresistible. The Falooda Smoothie is a fabulous treat for people of all age groups.
