Apart from the bevy of colours, we love Holi also for the mouth-watering delicacies, which are unique to this occasion. Agree? Flakey gujiyas, dal kachori with aloo, poori-sabji, namak pare, shakar pare and what not. Even health enthusiasts devour the Holi delicacies without any guilt. And, Hina Khan is one of them. The actress shared a snap of “Holi ke ek din pehle ka swadisht khana” and it has got us drooling. Her plate featured a piping hot crispy poori, a small portion of sahi paneer, and aloo matar. Let us agree, during Holi celebrations this plate of food is a must.
“Holi ke ek din pehle ka swadisht khana… Bye bye healthy food, see you the day after,” Hina Khan captioned the post. And tagging her friend Roy, she wrote, “I won't forgive you.”
Take a look at Hina Khan's meal:
