Pista Falooda Recipe
Pista falooda is a chilled layered dessert that is usually made during summer or as a special after meal dessert at home. This recipe has rich taste and it feels really good after a heavy meal. You can feel the milk and nuts nicely, but it is not too sweet at all. This recipe is made when something little different from the regular desserts is demanded at home.

- 2 teaspoon pistachios crushed

Instructions
- Take a handful of fine vermicelli, Boil water and add to it. Water should be little more than the immersing level.

Notes
- Chilling the milk – I always chill the pista milk well before assembling, it tastes much better when it is cold. I keep it in fridge for at least one hour.
- Cooking – I cook the vermicelli soft but not mushy. I rinse it with water so it does not stick together.
- Soaking sabja seeds – I soak sabja seeds properly until they swell fully. Half soaked seeds does not taste good in falooda.
- Layering – I usually add milk and syrup in between layers so flavor spreads evenly. This also make the glass look more nice.
- Sweetness – I taste the milk before assembling and adjust sugar if needed, because ice cream also add sweetness.
