- 2 teaspoon basil seeds

- Add a scoop of ice cream, sprinkle few saffron with chopped almonds and add a cherry on top.

Notes
- Cooking – I boil the vermicelli only till it turns soft. If you overcook, it becomes sticky and breaks easily.
- Rinse well – I rinse the cooked vermicelli in cold water and drain it fully. This removes the extra starch and strands stay separate.
- Simmer the milk – I simmer the milk on low flame till slightly thick. Thick milk coats the layers well and glass does not look watery.
- Soak the seeds – I soak sabja seeds for at least 15 minutes. Wait till they swell fully and then use.
- Cool the milk – I cool the milk completely before keeping in refrigerator. Warm milk melts the ice cream fast.
- Freeze the glass – I keep the serving glasses in freezer for few minutes. The falooda stay cold for longer time.
