Holi Recipes

Holi a popular Hindu festival celebrated in India. It is also known as “festival of colors” and is celebrated in Hindu month of Phalguna, which typically falls in early March.

Holi is celebrated in different ways in different parts of India. In North India, Holika Dahan or Chhoti Holi is celebrated the previous night of the Holi. The celebration signifies the victory of good over evil. People light bonfires, and sing and dance.

As a kid, I was always excited about holi. My favorite was playing with colors with my friends and cousins, water guns, and water balloons to splash and smear colored powder on each other.

No celebration would be complete without yummy food. I remember my mom used to prepare snacks, and mithai to feast on. Friends and family used to get together and celebrate Holi, play with colors, and enjoy delicious food.

It is such a wonderful day and brings back memories of good times with family and friends. Check out this wonderful list of sweets and snacks you can make this Holi, along with a vegetarian lunch menu for your Holi party!
