HAPPY HOLI

‘Holi ‘, the festival of colours brings lot of happiness to our lives. The festival signifies the beginning of Spring season. It is usually celebrated in the month of March. It is celebrated during Phalgun poornima. ‘Holi’ signifies the victory of good over evil. It is celebration of destruction of evil. It is a story of Prahalad’s victory and God Vishnu coming to earth to save his devotee. We have studied the story of Holi….. King Hiranyakashyapu….. son Prahalad and aunt…. Holika, right from our childhood days and have also written essay about HOLI in our exams.

We all know that HOLI festival is celebrated for two days, Holika Dahan or Chhoti Holi and Rang Panchami, Dhulandi or Phagwah. The celebration starts on the night before Holi with Holika Dahan where religious rituals happen in front of the bonfire.

It is believed that the bonfire is lit to symbolically burn away all the bad and give way to a colorful and vibrant new future. People sing and dance around the fire.

On the 2nd day i.e. Dhulandi or Rangpanchami , a variety of colours are used to enjoy the festival. People enjoy the festival and forget and forgive each other and forget the enemity (if there is any) and become friends again.

Men, women, and children carry powders and liquid colors to throw and smear on the clothes and faces of friends, neighbors and relatives. While dry powder colors are called “gulal,” colors mixed with water are called “rang.” Tables with bags of colors line the entrance as neighbors and family await the others to enter the grounds. It’s a day to celebrate and let go. Music, beverages and exotic food are the essential elements of the celebrations. Holi is celebrated all over India but has more significance in Northern part of India.

I am sure while reading this article a thought must have come to your mind the same way as it struck me while writing this blog that everyone knows about HOLI and even they are aware that this year celebration of Holi is not going to be there due to ban imposed by Government as a result of spike in Corona cases.

We being Indians are really good at adapting to any situations and coming out doing something innovative and not cribbing about it. We are having restrictions on celebration outside our house but we can make our HOLI memorable by experimenting making of HOLI Delicacies at home. You tube is always there. I tried making Dhuska and Pooran Poli and both turned out to be extremely tasty. Thanks to You Tube .HOLI is such a colourful festival, apart from various colours which we use for celebration we have so many delicacies which can be tried. Various HOLI sweets are ( Courtesy Google Search).

Gujiya – Holi celebrations in North India are incomplete without Gujiyas, deep-fried flour pastries, filled with khoya, dry fruits, and sooji, and dipped in sugar syrup. 

Daal ka Halwa : Halwa made with Moong Daal, and garnished with ground dry fruits is a Rajasthani delicacy and is a must during Holi in Rajasthan. 

Laddoos : Besan, motichur, til, boondi, coconut, and so on. Laddoos like Gujiya have a significant role during Holi. In fact, people even play Holi with laddoos in Barsana town of Uttar Pradesh, and it is called Laddoo Mar Holi, where people sing, dance, and throw laddoos at each other, and later consume them as prasad.

Malpua : It is a  pancake-style dessert made with all-purpose flour, semolina, khoya, and topped with kesar and cardamom in Eastern states of India. 

Puran Poli : Puran Poli, scrumptious and filling, is a favourite Holi special sweet in Maharashtra. It’s a sweet buttery flatbread resembling the roti and is prepared with stuffing (Puran) served with ghee . 

Other sweets for HOLI are classic barfi, an evergreen traditional sweet, Kesariya Kheer, India’s traditional rice kheer can also be  relished during Holi. 

Among the savouries, Dahi Vada reigns supreme, followed closely by  Kachoris, and Dhuska. 

Dahi Vada :  Dahi vada is prepared by soaking fried dough balls made of urad dal or chickpea flour in yogurt (Dahi) and garnished with chili powder, crushed black pepper, chaat masala, cumin, green chilis, or boondi. 

Kachori :  We all know that kachori is  round flattened balls made of fine flour with varied stuffing and named Mogar, Raj, Pyaaz, Nagori, Mawa, Lilva, Heeng, Banarasi, etc. in your Holi special list of dishes. This savoury delicacy which originated in the Marwari community in Rajasthan is a spicy mixture, eaten with tamarind chutney.

 Dhuska : Dhuska is an extremely popular breakfast dish in the states of Jharkhand and Bihar. Made by frying rice, dal, chilies and garlic, Dhuska is the major Holi savoury in Jharkhand and Bihar. Dhuska is generally served with Ghugni, a creamy curry made of black chickpeas, as the accompaniment. Ghugni tastes amazing when garnished with exotically spiced onions, chilies,  dried mango powder, and crushed pomegranate seeds.

 The festival of HOLI will be incomplete if we do not add beverages like lassi and thandai.  Lassi is easy to make and can be made at home and Thandai is available as a ready mix like ice-cream powder, upma, vada  mix and can be easily tried at home.

 Let us keep our spirits high and enjoy HOLI this time experimenting with new delicacies.

WISH YOU HAPPY HOLI
