Do burn your all evil deeds and thoughts on this Holika Dahan and start your life with new blessing and mindful. That is what the Holika Dahan teaches us. The historical story suggests the same thing - victory of good over evil. Teach your kids to be kind with everyone which is strongly needed in these days. You know where is our kids generation is going towards? Today’s generation are only self centric and self oriented. Do try to give your kids a good thought and teach them how to be good with everyone.

Rituals are differing state by state but celebrations are unique. The unique thing which we love is throwing colour powder and having red, pink, purple faces. We women make toil and roaming throughout the colony, applying colour on cheeks and greet by saying “HAPPY HOLI”…….right 😉Who love this ? Comment down.

Let’s come to the main highlight of the Holi and that is “SWEET DELICACY”, the mouth watering sweets prepared by each house. Yes or no Momssss….? Depending on each state, culture and rituals there are different types of delicacy prepared.  In Maharashtra it is celebrated by making Puranpoli and Katachi Amti on Holika Dahan and on coloured holi we used to have spicy Mutton 😋.

In UP sweet dishes like Malpuva prepared whereas in Rajstahn Gujiyas are made with khoya or coconut stuffing. Some prepared sweet shakkarpara and Bhang. Thandai, the most popular HOLI staple which is made by readymade mixes, with cold milk flavoring with almonds and spices, yum..yum…!! Have you taste it?

Thandai

Without puranpoli Holi celebration is incomplete. But still want to try out Holi Recipe. 

I tried sweet Malpuva, though my daughter does not like sweet at all except shankarpali. Still I want to try this new recipe. It is my version, as I like to keep it simple. I am very lazy person and don’t like to try complicated recipe. 

Firstly dissolve the jaggary with water and cooled down this mixture. 

Choopped dry fruits.  Add freshly coconut piece too. I did not have at the time of making. 

I used natural Maida, my first step towards organic.

Then slowly add 1 cup of maida, 1 tablspoon of semolina, little bit saunf, cardamom powder, mix well. Add milk according to the consistency and mix well. Make sure there are no lumps. 

Fry them on low to medium heat in oil one by one. 

It tastes amazing when dipped in sugar syrup with Rabadi in authentic way.  I love it without syrup because I am also not having sweet tooth.

I made very small shape to make it kid friendly. Always trying a new recipe so that I can able to feed my kid as much as possible. Yup….but the sad thing is she does not like because it is sweet and having chunky bites of dry fruits😔, I think  need to try some spicy version. Do you have any ideas?

How many of you mumma’s try out new recipe for your kids? Does that hit or flop?
