Waiting for a cook
Mauritius
Alouda is the cold milk drink of Mauritius: sweetened milk with swollen basil seeds and grated jelly of agar-agar, flavoured with rose, vanilla or almond, coloured pink or green, and served over crushed ice. It is the island's version of the Indian falooda and it is sold by the glass at the Port Louis central market, where the alouda stalls are a landmark. Some vendors top it with a scoop of ice cream.
The draft was written from 3 published sources and holds 10 ingredients and 6 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
