Holi is a festival signifying the start of spring in India. It is celebrated on the day after the full moon day of Phalgun month (which falls roughly between march and april). It is a festival of colors, bringing joy, happiness and imbues the spirit of friendship in people of all faiths. Holi symbolizes different shades of life and inspires all to rejoice in the glory of nature in its varied colors. According to Hindu mythology this festival is a celebration of good over evil. A very famous tale of Hiranyakashup, the father, Hollika and Prahallad is considered to be the legend for this celebration.

In India, people come together in their respective neighborhoods to light a fire and perform rituals. The next day, they play with colors and water with each other.

Along with the fun there is a lot of food made – sweet and savory dishes! In the spirit of this festival of colors, I’m going to post a few of my favorite recipes of the food that we make during this time of the year to welcome the new season!
