Holi – Gujhias, and a Dash of Nostalgia
While I was growing up in Sultanpur in the Avadh region of UP, preparation for Holi would start almost a month in advance with potato and sabudana (pearl sago) papads, potato chips ( made from boiled potatoes rather than raw sliced ones) , dalmoth, sevaiyan (vermicelli) etc. all being made at home. Almost all terraces [...]
