    Rakshabandhan Recipes

    India is a land of festivals and each community has its share of festivals lined up throughout the year. September till December is the time when a lot of the festivals of different communities are lined up one after the other, making it the festive season, loaded with celebration, sharing joy and happiness, lots of special food, and family get-togethers.

    Rakshabandhan, the festival of bonding between brothers and sisters is here. Sisters get Rakhies to be tied around brother’s wrists and brothers make promise to take care of their sisters in difficult times.  There are many stories linked to rakhi and each community has their preferred ones. One thing that is common is the special food and sweets which are made to enjoy the day. I have compiled a list of sweets which can be made for Rakshabandhan at home and give a personal touch to the celebration of love and bonding.

      Everything looks really good,
      but why the Nazi symbol on the plate in the 1st picture?!
      Pretty offensive…
