About Mango Falooda
Mango Falooda is a variation of the popular Indian dessert drink Falooda. While the simple basic falooda does not contain any fruit based purees or pulps, this Mango Falooda variant has fresh mango puree as one of the essential ingredients.
This Mango Falooda is one of those recipes that’s truly a mango heaven or ‘death by mangoes,’ as rightly pointed out by one of my dear friends. There is obviously this popular summer fruit in different forms along with other cooling ingredients like rose syrup and Sabja Seeds (Sweet Basil Seeds).
I haven’t used mango custard or jelly in this Mango Falooda recipe. But if you feel like going crazier with mango, do add these. The more, the better! Whichever way, this dessert is going to be the easiest, yet fanciest and tastiest mango thing.
It is best to also add a homemade Mango Ice Cream in this. Makes it all the more personalized. If you don’t have rose syrup, add Rooh Afza or skip it all together. Use chilled almond milk and a vegan ice cream for a vegan Mango Falooda recipe.

- Then, prepare 3 tablespoons falooda sev according to package instructions. Some require just soaking them in warm water. I had to cook them in boiling water much like noodles. If you need to cook them, then do boil them in water till they are softened.
- Once they are cooked, rinse them in water and drain them. Keep aside covered in a bowl. Allow them to cool completely to room temperature. Substitute for falooda sev can be rice vermicelli or wheat vermicelli.
