    		Sabja is known in English as Basil or St Johns Wort

    http://www.ayushveda.com/health/dyspepsia.htm

    Falooda or Faluda (Urdu: ÝÇáæÏÀ) is a popular beverage in the Indian subcontinent made primarily by mixing rose syrup with vermicelli and tapioca seeds along with either milk or water.

    Basil seeds (sabja/takmaria), tutti frutti, sugar, and ice cream may be added

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falooda

    When soaked in water the seeds of several basil varieties become gelatinous, and are used in Asian drinks and desserts such as falooda or Sherbet.
