Rajasthan's Holi: Savory snacks and cold drinks to beat the heat
March 12, 2025
|The Daily Guardian
Holi, the festival of colors, is a grand celebration that brings together people across communities in joyous revelry.

In Rajasthan, the festival is celebrated with great fervor and is accompanied by delicious food, both sweet and savory.
As people indulge in color throwing and dancing, the culinary delights of Holi take center stage, with traditional snacks and drinks playing an essential role in making the celebration unforgettable. From vibrant sweets to refreshing drinks, Rajasthani cuisine during Holi is a delightful affair, with dishes that are rich in flavor and culture.
Here's a detailed look at the snacks and drinks that are typically made and enjoyed during Holi celebrations in Rajasthan.
In some variations, the gujiya filling might also include roasted semolina (suji) or sugar and cardamom for an aromatic twist. Some people even make gujiya with a hint of saffron, which adds a luxurious touch to the sweet. The gujiyas are often glazed with sugar syrup for extra sweetness, and they are served hot or at room temperature.
Malpua: Sweet Pancakes Another favorite during Holi is Malpua, a sweet, deep-fried pancake made from flour, sugar, and coconut. The dough is flavored with cardamom and fried until golden brown. Malpua is typically soaked in sugar syrup, which makes it extra sweet and sticky, giving it a unique texture. It is often garnished with chopped dry fruits like pistachios and almonds, making it a rich and indulgent snack during the festivities.
Some families also serve Malpua with a dollop of rabri (a creamy, condensed milk dessert) or thick yogurt for added richness. Malpua pairs wonderfully with the traditional drinks of Holi, such as Thandai or Sherbet, complementing the sweet and savory flavors of the festival.

Forgotten regional dishes making a comeback
India's culinary landscape is vast, diverse, and deeply rooted in its regions, communities, and traditions. Yet, as globalization and modern lifestyles brought fast food chains and fusion menus into the limelight, many authentic regional dishes slipped into obscurity. Recipes once celebrated in small towns and villages often disappeared from everyday cooking. But in recent years, there has been a heartening trend—forgotten regional dishes are making a strong comeback, thanks to chefs, home cooks, and food enthusiasts who want to reconnect with India's culinary heritage.
