    I may have spent a good part of my hour of free time this afternoon looking through these recipes and reading the little stores about Holi. Not only am I starving because these recipes look amazing, but I’m also more culturally smart! 🙂 Great round up, Molly!

    Molly, your page makes me so hungry every time I stop by! 27 desserts sounds awesome. Can I eat them all in one day? That’s traditional, right?

  • Anya March 11, 2017 (7:22 pm)

    Ohmigoodness. The truffles, the pannacotta, all of these look so gorgeous and inviting. I’ve noticed a lot of these call for saffron – that’s a pretty common staple in Indian cuisine?

  • Marisa Franca @ All Our Way March 11, 2017 (6:55 pm)

    What a great collection. Frankly, I don’t know which one I’d want to try first. I’m not familiar with Indian cuisine but I’m learning so much from you and other bloggers who do post Indian recipes. You are certainly making me want to expand my culinary tastes. Thank you!

    Oh my word … Molly you have some of my absolute favorite Indian sweets on the list. In the gone days when I could afford these I’d skip a meal and just enjoy some Indian desserts. Yup! I have a sweet tooth… Faluda, jalebi, rabri are my weakness.
    BUT Have never made any of these…. always got them from the mithai shop.
