Happy Holi!

Holi is the festival of colors, where people play with colors in the day and in some parts of India they also celebrate in the night on Dol Purnima or the full moon on Holi night. There are various origin stories of Holi related to Lord Vishnu, Prahlad, and Holika, the deities Kama and Rati, but it is primarily associated with the love between Radha and Lord Krishna as well as spring, romance, and playfulness.

Sweets are an important part of celebrating Holi too. This is our Holi platter, which has sweets of different types made from milk, chickpea flour, semolina, yogurt, cottage cheese, etc.

My favorites below~~

Jalebi and Peda

Shrikhand with pistachios and saffron

Moti Pak

Gulab Jamun

Thandai

There are different drinks prepared too, one of which is thandai or a cooling drink containing milk, sugar, almonds, rose petals, saffron, fennel seeds, poppy seeds, cardamom, and black pepper.

Happy Holi!

Bengalis who call Kolkata, 'Kalkatta', should choke on 'mishti dahi' and 'rasgulla'.

AGREED

no, you're too much

Kalkatta sounds cute man...

I'm in Kolkata airport rn and the bookshops don't have a single Bengali book. Saw one or two last time I was here (about 10 months back), none this time. :)

Bengali sweets: Mishti Doi

মিষ্টি দই (Mişti Dôi)

Mişti Dôi is a kind of sweet curd/yogurt from Bengal. Though it is different from the plain yogurt because of the unique technique of preparation.

Key Ingredients: Milk, yogurt, sugar/ jaggery.

Mişti dôi is almost always prepared in an earthenware because it helps in maintaining the right temperature for the dôi's culture. Perfect Bengali dessert.
