Rose Falooda Granita
A light, fat-trimmed take on the classic Indian rose falooda, reimagined as a scraped granita: rose- and cardamom-scented ice flakes studded with soft tapioca vermicelli and finished with fresh strawberry, built on skim milk and a halved sugar load to keep it well under the usual falooda's calorie load while keeping every signature texture intact.

Instructions
1
Cook the tapioca starch strands (falooda-style vermicelli) in a small pot of boiling water for 2-3 minutes until translucent, then drain and rinse under cold water; set aside.
2
In a small saucepan combine the water, sugar, rose food colouring and ground cardamom; warm gently just until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes, then remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
3
Stir the chilled skim milk and the cooked tapioca strands into the cooled rose syrup, mixing well to distribute the strands evenly.
4
Pour the mixture into a shallow freezer-safe tray (about 350ml capacity) and freeze for 1 hour.
5
After 1 hour, scrape the surface with a fork to break up forming ice crystals; return to the freezer.
6
Repeat the scraping every 30-45 minutes for a further 2-3 hours, until the whole tray is made up of light, separate, fluffy ice flakes.
7
Just before serving, fold the diced strawberry through the granita for bursts of fresh fruit, then pile into two chilled glasses or bowls as 2 scoops each.
