With Ramzan starting, it is the time for devotion. While you will find millions of Muslims following their various rituals, a part of the festival that is anticipated by people of all religion is the Iftar feast. It is always a grand affair. Not just in homes but streets and corners across various cities witness numerous food offerings that include kebabs, biryani, nihari, phirni, sheermal, kheer and seviyan, among other tempting delicacies. And to accompany these dishes, there are always refreshing sherbets to wash it all down. Moreover, in the heat, sherbets prove to be the best way to boost up one's energy. Falooda is a common feature across all Iftar menus during this festival. It is one of the most loved beverages, which is often referred to as a sherbet-cum-dessert. Walk through the lanes of Muhammad Ali Road in Mumbai and you will find creative versions of the classic falooda that are immensely satisfying. Near Delhi's Jama Masjid, one can savour other sherbet variants like gur sherbet and the famous Pyaar Mohabbat Sherbat, made milk, watermelon and Rooh Afza.
Well, if you don't have the time to head out to enjoy a glass of sherbet every other day, you can also make them at home with flavours that suit your fancy. Keeping the hot season in mind, look for refreshing ingredients like phalsa, rose, khus, etc. If you are fasting or looking for energy boosting beverages then you can try using ingredients like nuts, dates, sattu and the like.
