We Indians love to eat! Be it an occasion or a normal day, we never miss the chance to enjoy a feast of yummy food at any time. And when it comes to celebrating a festival, something as grand as Holi, there needs to be loads of delish food as a part of the celebrations. One of Holi’s most special snacks to munch on is Masala Mathri and it is clearly one of my favourites.

The auspicious day of Holi is around the corner and most people celebrate the festival with pomp and glory. Along with colours, water balloons, and gulaal, food is something that adds lots of enthusiasm and fun to the celebrations.
