Hoil (Indian Spring festival of Colors) is around the corner.Its 5th March this year! Over the years I have posted quite a few favorites which I typically make on this day, Here are few recipes from the blog that you can make for entertaining family and friends.

Many of these recipes have been cooked in the kitchens of my readers and they were kind enough to leave feedback on the posts.Thank you! These feedbacks come some handy when there is shortage of time and you want to try something new. Knowing how these recipes performed ( I look forward to that all the time on someone else’ recipes) makes life so easy. No?

Enjoy, Stay Spicy & Happy Cooking!
