India, March 15 -- Holi 2024 is around the corner, and preparations are in full swing to welcome the festival of colours with full gusto. A big part of those preparations is the sweet treats that make the festival of Holi even sweeter.

Like every Indian festival, Holi celebrations are incomplete without delicious food. Rows of fresh fried pakoras, glasses of thandai spiked with bhaang, homemade kanji, chhole kulche, dal kachori and dahi vada line up the tables at every Holi party. But what's most special about the festivities is the traditional Holi sweets - gujiyas stuffed with khoya and dunked in sugar syrup, stacks of malpua, crispy, bite-sized shakarpara and more.
