Falooda is a dessert prevalent from the time of Mughal periods in India. Ever since, Indians have relished this rose flavored dessert and have shared it with millions of people. It’s a royal dessert which is full of flavor and expensive, so making it at home would not only be cost effective but pure and more aromatic. Well, it also an attractive dessert that appeals even the kids.Comments
