Holi Memories & mummy ke snacks

No Holi in my house is celebrated without these eggless fred pancakes & desserts.

I remember as kids, we would cycle to all the friends' homes & play Holi at every place.We would finally end up at Ukku club for the rain dance.It was so much fun.Vizag Steel township in Andhra Pradesh was heaven.My mom is known for her Malpuas in the whole family.Shehas a huge fan following for her yum desserts and snacks.This time she is here for Holi after very long time.Hence, it is time for me to rekindle my childhood memories.

I think what makes this sweet tick,it is soft yet crispy hence kids and elders both love it equally.
