Gond Katira And Mix Fruit Smoothie With Basil Seeds

 Ingredients for 5-6 servings

1. 5-6 small pieces of gond katira / edible gum
2. 1 tbsp basil seeds
3. 4 tbsp rose syrup
4. 1 big mango
5. 1 pear
6. 1 plum
7. 1 banana
8. 1/2 tsp salt
9. 12-15 ice-cubes 

 Preparations

Take gond katira and basil seeds in separate bowl and soak them in enough water to swell up. Gond katira takes 5-6 hours to swell up while basil seeds or sabja seeds takes 10-15 minutes. It's better to soak overnight in a refrigerator and use next day. In place of rose water you can take roohafza also or any other flavour you like. You can even grind the gond katira with any fruit or fruit pulp as it doesn't have any taste of it and take the flavour of the ingredient grind with.

Now for fruits take as much and whichever fruit you like or in season simply wash them and finely chop them. Now in a mixer grinder add the soaked gond katira which will look just like a jelly after soaked up along with soaked basil seeds and rose syrup. Grind them to a smooth paste. This will take a gel like consistency and will give a base to the smoothie. Now transfer this to a big bowl then add all the chopped fruits to it mix it well and keep it in the refrigerator to make it cool. 

Salt is totally optional but it enhance the taste and balance it's flavours. Mix them all very well and before serving add ice-cubes to the serving glasses then pour the Smoothie in it. Tastes amazing when served chilled. May it once and enjoy it with your loved once.

Refreshing Rose Falooda Delight

Ingredients:

1/2 cup falooda sev (vermicelli)

1/2 cup basil seeds

2 cups milk (or almond milk for a vegan option)

1/4 cup rose syrup

2 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)

1/2 cup ice cream (vanilla or rose flavored)

Chopped nuts (pistachios and almonds) for garnish

Fresh rose petals (optional, for garnish)

1/4 tsp cardamom powder (optional)

 

Directions:

Soak the basil seeds in water for about 30 minutes until they swell. Drain and set aside.

Cook the falooda sev according to package instructions, usually boiling in water for about 3-5 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.

In a saucepan, heat the milk with sugar until it dissolves. Let it cool slightly, then stir in the rose syrup and cardamom powder if using.

In tall serving glasses, layer the ingredients: start with a spoonful of falooda sev, followed by basil seeds, and then pour in the rose milk mixture.

Add a generous scoop of ice cream on top of each glass, and finish with a sprinkle of chopped nuts and rose petals for garnish.

Serve immediately with a straw or a long spoon for mixing.
