📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Alouda is a Mauritian drink descended from Indian falooda: sweet cold milk scented with vanilla or rose, with plumped basil seeds (tukmaria) and agar jelly. It's a specialty of Port Louis's Central Market, and drinking cold alouda on a hot day is a local pleasure.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a stall in Port Louis's Central Market, cold pink milk is poured from a big glass jar into glasses as jelly sinks to the bottom.
