Falooda(Summer Drink)
I have been participating in few competitions for long and I have been quite regular but 2 months break to India trip kept me away from SNC. Its a group of north and south buddy giving each other their regional recipes and competing with each other. I love it very much. The brain child behind this is divya pramil. This month challenge was given by Minnie and I thoroughly enjoyed doing this. Its been on my to-do list for a very very long time and somehow never made it. I am so happy that I was finally able to do it. Enjoying every sip of it. Also linking this to Srivalli A-Z ALPHABET BLOGGING MARATHON under regional category. This drink popular In Pakistan,Middle East, India, Bangladesh. Also linking to preeti.
