As we step into March, we begin to feel the excitement around one of the much-loved festivals – Holi. Plates and bags filled with colours, water guns loaded with mischief, a mixed playlist of old-new songs, and all those crazy dance moves – what’s not to love about this festival? Oh! We missed an essential element. The mouth-watering and absolutely delicious Holi snacks. There is a myriad of snacks prepared but we have one undisputed winner, across the country as well as households – flaky sweet dumplings, Gujiya!
