I wish you all a very Happy Holi. May the colors of Holi fill your life with peace and happiness! 🙂 Holi Hai! 

Gujiya

My favorite Gujiya is obviously the number 1 thing which you should be making for the festival! Holi is synonyms with gujiya, which is a sweet dumpling filled with dried milk, nuts and then deep fried.

Thandai

Thandai is another Holi favorite. This refreshing drink is flavored with lots of nuts and spices making it very refreshing.

Gulab Jamun

One of the most popular Indian sweet, gulab jamuns are deep fried balls made from dried milk and soaked in cardamom flavored sugar syrup.

Rasmalai

Learn the tips & tricks to make the perfect Rasmalai every single time. It’s my favorite Indian sweet.

Dahi Vada

Dahi Vada or Dahi Bhalla are a regular in every kitchen during festivals like Holi & Diwali. These savory lentil dumplings topped with yogurt, green and sweet chutney are my husband’s absolute favorite.

Rasgulla

Melt in your mouth ragullas are hugely popular in the country, plus they are a healthier treat compared to other sweets.

Pista Badam Burfi

In India we make burfi (fudge) out of everything – nuts, lentils, chickpeas etc. This burfi made from pistachios and almonds is easy to make and tastes amazing!

Imarti

Imarti is my dad’s favorite sweet, why don’t you give this recipe a try this Holi? : )

Namak Pare

These crunchy crackers seasoned with Indian spices are highly addictive. I can munch on them non-stop!

Besan Ladoo

Besan Ladoo is made from chickpeas flour. Easy recipe but high on flavors.

Kalakand

Kalakand like many Indian sweets is made by curdling milk. Only few basic ingredients but the results are far from basic.

Seviyan Kheer

Vermicelli is cooked with milk and sugar and topped with raisins. This is one sweet which my mom would often make!
