Thandai meets Madeleines meets Rasmalai meets a fun holi vibe. Colorful madeleines are dunked in spicy, nutty thandai (recipe I shared recently - checkout link in bio) to create this holi-inspired dessert.

Uttarayan🪁 meant two days of non-stop kite-flying on the nani's terrace with the cousins, with plates of seasonal goodies perfect for the cool winters. The one almost synonymous to the festival is chikki. I love the unhulled, nuttier black sesame so much. That, when paired with sumac flavored chocolate ganache is a flavor combo to revel in.

NANKHATAI are sweet, salty, eggless - very much like the shortbread cookies. These are spiced with a light chai masala flavor and baked with ghee, yielding a nutty, buttery backdrop. They are perfect with tea and coffee!
