Mango falooda recipe - a perfect summer dessert made with mango pulp, sweetened milk, basil seeds, falooda sev and mango ice cream.
Making falooda at home is very easy, even though it looks there are many different elements. At home, we love any kind of falooda. Hence I have already shared the regular version of homemade faluda which is made using rose syrup.
For making mango falooda, we are using mango pulp to flavor the milk instead of rose syrup used in basic falooda recipe.
The mango pulp used here is nothing but pureed fresh mango pieces. You can use canned store bought mango puree as well. Sometimes, store bought one is already sweetened. If that is the case, reduce the sugar quantity in the recipe.
To make mango falooda at home, it requires little time and effort. But everything is worth once you and your family enjoy a glass of it.
When I say little time is required. I meant, you will need only 35 minutes. let’s see how -
- First soak the sabja seeds - which needs only 30 minutes soaking time
- While it is soaking, prep the rest of the elements - 1) dissolve the sugar in the milk 2) make the mango puree and also chop some mango in small pieces 3) cook the falooda sev.
- Once you have everything ready, assembling part will take only 5 minutes. yes it is that easy.
Here I have used homemade mango ice cream just to get the full flavor of mango in the falooda. Instead you can use vanilla ice cream or kesar-pista ice cream.
Falooda is popular in all over the India. It is not limited to selected regions. There is a falooda stall nearby where I lived in Ahmedabad and it serves more than 15 different flavor varieties of falooda. My favorites are pistachio falooda, dry fruits falooda and regular ice cream falooda.

How to make mango falooda recipe
1) Soak basil seeds in enough water for 30 minutes.
2) While it is soaking, add sugar to milk and mix till sugar dissolves completely. Keep this in the fridge chilled till needed.
3) Also cook falooda sev as per package instruction.
4) How I did – take some water in a pan, let it come to a rolling boil. Add falooda sev, let it cook for 4-5 minutes. Drain it and rinse it with cold water immediately to stop further cooking. using kitchen scissors, cut them into approx 1 inch pieces, so it will easier to eat later.
5) After 30 minutes of soaking time basil seeds may have swelled up most of the water. If it has water left then drain it well.
6) Take serving glass. First add spoonful of soaked falooda seeds.
7) Then add spoonful of cooked sev.
8) After that 2 tablespoons of mango pulp.
9) Now add few chopped mango pieces.
10) Again do the same layers, spoonful of falooda seeds.
11) Then sev and 1 tablespoon of mango pulp.
12) Now add half cup of milk.
13) Top with a scoop of mango ice cream or vanilla ice cream.
14) Garnish with chopped mango pieces and mint leaf and serve. Follow the same steps for another serving as well.
You will see nice layers of all the ingredients. When you start eating, do stir with spoon lightly, so milk and mango pulp and other ingredients will get mixed up slightly. So in each spoonful you will get mix of everything.
Serving suggestion: It must be served immediately after assembling. But you can prep different elements (like soaked sabja seeds, cooked falooda sev, mango pulp and chopped mangoes) and keep in refrigerator. At the time of serving or when the guests arrive, assemble in serving glasses and serve right away.

Hi. The glasses that u have are very cute. From where can i get them..
I have bought the bar set - here is the link
Tried this in this Ramadhan! Super delicious! Thank you for the recipe.
Glad to know you liked.
This looks really awesome. I've been to India a couple of times now, but never seen Falooda anywhere... 🙁
Must have a better look when I go back in January.
Anyway, I have managed to get hold of the ingredients, even here in tiny Sweden, so I thought I'd try making this recipe.
I have one small question, however: How big are the glasses you serve it in? It's hard to tell from the picture, and I want to make sure that I have glasses that will fit properly... 🙂
my glass is about 6-7 inch tall and 2 inch in diameter. hope this helps.
It does! Thanks a lot... 🙂
you're welcome
Hello ,

I'll let you know how it turns out after I try it
thanks for your wonderful recipes, so beautifully explained and the presentations are exquisite.

Thank you Mona. I am sure you will like it.
Great recipe Kanan. Hoping to try it soon, only need to figure out how to get fresh mangoes in Michigan!!
I get mine from Costco or sometimes from Farmer's market (in NJ). I just bought few from Costco this weekend.
