    I totally forgot about holi iteself. I was too lazy to cook new recipes for it till yesterday. Luckily i had a sweet potato jamun recipe on hand so i shared it. But somehow the mind of the food blogger will make you do it, so today morning i made this traditional holi special drink thandai. I have already made the dough for mawa gujiya and after publishing this post, i will be rushing into the kitchen to make that. Will be sharing it in a few hours.
