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~~

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!
