Preparation

Heat water and sugar to make syrup. Leave to cool and then freeze for 24 hours.

Once frozen solid, place the frozen syrup in a large metal bowl and while slightly thawing, crush with a hard implement. When the ice is broken up - use your hands, wearing gloves, to crush further. Add cooked rice vermicelli noodles to the icy mix. Using your hands combine well so the noodles are spread throughout the mixture.

Add approximately 1 tablespoon of rosewater and mix through. Scoop the mixture into martini glasses and top with either, lime juice, strawberry syrup or sour cherry syrup.
Serve immediately.

this dish is indian /pakistani aswell

This dish is also pakistani aand indian. This recipe is very basic and does not even look nearly as good as the ones you can get. You use milk, crushed ice, jelly cubes, vermicilli, the sugar syrup in this recipe actually uses these speciaal seeds which puff up when you leave them in the water. I'm not saying this recipe isn't good I'm just saying this is not the real thing. This would taste just as good with a few other things

really good

this stuff is good. i made it for a party the other day and it was a big hit, perfect for summer. like a sophisticated snowcone, with added interest from the noodles.

looks good

You don't really need quantities with a dessert like this, you're supposed to make it up on your own according to your own tastes. You can adjust the sugar in the ice to your taste and add as many noodles as you like. When I went to India, I tasted the Indian version - which was a glass of pink, rose-flavoured milk, with rice vermicelli and basil seeds mixed in. And you could opt for a scoop of ice cream on top or pieces of red jelly in it as well. I'll be trying this soon, it looks lighter.

Unquantifiable

Great looking recipe but how about some quantities with the ingredients? What is the water sugar ratio? How muck rice Vermicelli do I need?
