I love Falooda. I spoke with my mom the other day and she told me that she just had a Falooda for dessert after her Dinner....and I was so jealous of her. After been in the US for 3 years now I never had a falooda for that long and craved for it so bad. I tried looking for it and none of the NYC Indian Restaurants offered it on their menu.
I craved more for 2 weeks and then decided to make it myself. I loked online for the recipe and they all were so different. Never realised that the same dessert is made in a different way in different countries. I mixed match all recipe's to make the one we commonly get in Mumbai and it came out perfect. Hence, decided to share the receipe with all of you....
