sabudana falooda recipe | sago royal falooda | sabudana dessert | sago drink with detailed photo and video recipe. basically an extension to the popular royal falooda recipe made with sabudana in place of sevai noodles. it is a popular refreshing drink served specifically during iftar celebration meal. unlike the traditional sevai falooda, sago royal falooda is served more watery and as a drink, rather than dessert.
street food recipes have always been one of the popular requests i have been getting from my readers. i typically get a request for some spicy and lip-smacking recipes. i have been following these requests religiously, but this time, i thought of sharing something different. falooda recipes have always been one of the popular street food, especially after a spicy and savoury meal. i have already shared the sevai based one, hence i thought of sharing the same recipe with a twist. thin sevai can be difficult to find, but sabudana or sago is easily available in most of the kitchen. hence i thought of sharing the same falooda with sabudana as a replacement to thin sevai. i personally like the soft and spongy texture of sago pearls, and when mixed with rose milk, the entire experience doubles.
furthermore, i would like to add some tips, suggestions, and variations to sago royal falooda. firstly, in this recipe, i have added vegetarian gelly made without gelatin and hence making a vegetarian dessert. however, if you find it difficult to find it, you may entirely skip it. secondly, in this recipe, i have not added any fresh tropical fruit and i have limited to dry fruits. you may add fruits like banana, apple, orange, watermelon, grapes or as per your choice. lastly, the ingredients for this recipe like rose milk, boiled sago pearls can be prepared well ahead in advance. assemble the dessert drink whenever it is required as it tastes better when it is freshly stacked.
