Royal Rose Falooda

Falooda is a rich, cold & creamy dessert/beverage most popular in the Northern parts of India. Though I'm not a big fan of Falooda, just wanna give it a try for my kid this summer when I came across some pictures of it in beautiful layers. The preparation of this dessert is so easy when all the ingredients needed for this recipe are kept handy.
