Chopped mangoes and mango puree are also added to the falooda glass along with other ingredients such as vermicelli, basil seeds, rose syrup, nuts, and vanilla or mango ice cream. Now, imagine replacing the traditional vermicelli with colourful jello for an added fun twist or swapping the rose syrup with blueberry syrup for an explosion of new flavours.
