Flavorful Pakoras with a Twist(New Holi Menu Ideas)
Pakoras are a Holi staple, but why not experiment with exciting fillings? Try Vegetable Manchurian Pakoras with a spicy, Indo-Chinese twist, or Broccoli and Cheese Pakoras for a delightful vegetarian option. Don’t forget the dipping sauces – a tangy tamarind chutney or a creamy cilantro yogurt dip will add another layer of flavor.
A Rainbow of Salads
Salads are a refreshing way to balance the richness of other dishes. Embrace the spirit of Holi with a colorful Rainbow Salad featuring vibrant bell peppers, carrots, beetroot, and corn. Sprouted Mung Bean Salad is another healthy option, packed with protein and a delightful crunch.
Savory Chaat Delights
Chaat is synonymous with Indian street food, and perfect for a Holi gathering. Move beyond the usual Aloo Tikki and delve into something new. Try a Dahi Bhalla Chaat, a delightful combination of crispy lentil dumplings bathed in creamy yogurt, or a Samosa Chaat with a spicy and tangy twist.
Sweet Treats Beyond Gujiya
While Gujiya is a classic, explore the vast world of Indian sweets. Besan Laddoo are melt-in-your-mouth sweet balls made with gram flour, perfect for satisfying a sweet tooth. For a lighter option, try Shrikhand, a creamy yogurt dessert flavored with saffron and cardamom.
Holi-Themed Mocktails
Keep your guests hydrated with refreshing and colorful mocktails. A Thandai Cooler with rose water and nuts takes inspiration from the traditional drink, while a Blue Lagoon Mocktail with its vibrant color adds a playful touch to the festivities.
Don’t forget the presentation! Plate your dishes creatively, using colorful garnishes and edible flowers to reflect the spirit of Holi.
