Holi 2024: 5 Traditional And Healthy Foods to Enjoy On Holi

Aren’t all festivals around the world about getting dressed and eating good food? Well, Holi is much like any other happy occasion but the only difference between this and any other festival is that this one demands you to wear clothes that you are ready to part ways with, courtesy the colours. While you surely don’t need a guide on how to make this Holi special, here’s an easy list to follow to celebrate Holi with traditional and healthy food.

Dahi Bhalla

It’s the onset of spring-summer, you can feel the wind turning warmer every day and it surely calls for a sweet and salty curd-based dish that can serve as a healthy appetiser.

Gujiya

No Holi is complete without Gujiyas. While they are sweet and you can’t really cut down on that, what you can do is swap sugar with jaggery as a sugar alternative.

Puran Poli

The dish needs no introduction. It’s a special Holi sweet dish made with lentils, jaggery and some authentic spices and there is nothing unhealthy about it.

Thandai

When you’re playing Holi with family and friends, it’s freshly made Thandai that comes to the rescue. So get out your almonds, milk, saffron, edible seeds and give it a nice blend with sugar.

Namak Pare

These are your not-so-average fried snacks that will beat french fries at their own game. Made out of processed flour, salt, and oil, they are easy to make and can be stored for a long time.
