We are headed towards the spring season and one festival that marks its onset is the festival of colours- Holi. The festival is here and we can't help but think of water guns, vibrant colours and endless food indulgences. From collecting colours to buying water guns and most importantly, preparing all the traditional Holi-special snacks. And when we speak of Holi snacks, the first treat that delight our taste buds is the flaky sweet dumpling, Gujiya! A traditional Indian sweet, Gujiya is prepared in millions of Indian households, particularly in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and in some parts of Maharashtra around the festival.
