This is probably a really dof question, but what is falooda powder and elarchie syrup/powder?? And what’s the consistency of the final dish like? Intrigued!
Hey Jeanne. Its also called “china grass” powder. Elarchie syrup is a very sweet flavoured syrup – it comes in cream soda and strawberry flavours. Dont confuse it with rose syrup. Both are available at an Indian shop.
Its like a milk version of jelly but slightly more firm. I just cut it into slices and served it. Its so delicious, I cant explain! I over ate when I made it. Just couldn’t stop myself.
mmmm . ok can I replace this falooda powder with anything ? or can I make it at home ?
thanks a lot , keep on
Hi Angel, I think you can use gelatin? Yes, you can make it at home.
I will try it , and tell u
thanks
