Sharbat E Faloodeh
Sharbat-e Faloodeh is a delightful and refreshing traditional Iranian dessert that captures the essence of summer in every spoonful. This enchanting dish features delicate, vermicelli-sized noodles made from starch, enveloped in a fragrant syrup of sugar and rose water. Topped with vibrant cherries and crunchy pistachios, this semi-frozen treat is perfect for cooling off on warm days and is a staple in Persian cuisine, often enjoyed during festive occasions and family gatherings.
Ingredients
- Corn starch
- 1 cup
- Water
- 1 cup
- Granulated sugar
- 1 cup
- Rose water
- 2 tablespoons
- Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons
- Cherries
- 1 cup, pitted and halved
- Pistachios
- 1/4 cup, chopped
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the corn starch and water, stirring until the corn starch is fully dissolved.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and add the granulated sugar. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens into a dough-like consistency, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and add the rose water, stirring well to incorporate the flavor. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
- After cooling, transfer the mixture to a potato ricer or a large grater. Press the mixture through to create thin, noodle-like strands. Spread the strands on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer and allow the strands to freeze for at least 2 hours.
- When ready to serve, break up the frozen strands into smaller pieces and mix them with the lime juice for a tangy twist.
- Serve in bowls, garnished with the halved cherries and chopped pistachios for added texture and flavor.
Tips
- For an extra layer of flavor, you can drizzle a bit of additional rose water on top before serving.
- Feel free to substitute the cherries with other seasonal fruits like strawberries or pomegranate seeds for a different twist.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of sugar to your taste.
