Gujia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Holi is one of the biggest festival in India. Celebrated in the month of March it is called the festival of colors. Adults and kids come out to play with water and colors, the scents of gulal<\/em> fill the air and there is masti<\/em> every where. Like any other festivals, this is also the time of enjoying with family and friends and when there is a get together, the food is definitely on high priority. Like I shared thandai<\/em> in one of the past recipes, Gujia is one other festive dish which is served on Holi. Since my childhood, we have always made Gujia at home filled with loads of mava,\u00a0<\/em>it can be kept for 2-3 weeks in an air tight container. Nowadays lot of people prefer to get it from the local halwai<\/em> shops, but you can still make a few of them at home. Let’s see this Gujia recipe and enjoy the festival to the fullest!
