Faloodeh (Persian: فالوده Fālūde) or Paludeh (Persian: پالوده Pālūde) is an Iranian cold dessert consisting of thin vermicelli noodles made from corn starch mixed in a semi-frozen syrup made from sugar and rose water. It is often served with lime juice and sometimes ground pistachios. It is a traditional dessert in Iran (Persia). Paludeh is originally from Shiraz and it is also known as Shirazi Paludeh.
The name originally means smoothy (filtered) in Persian language. In Iran, Palude is sold in ice cream stores (Persian: بستنی فروشی) (Bastani Forooshi) and coffee shops.
A thin wheat starch batter is pressed through a sieve which further produces delicate strings. These strings look like grated coconut. Cold milk with blended almonds and pistachios is added, and then cooled.
