This Holi, revel in delightful treats that also nourish your body. Here are five recipes and snack ideas to infuse your celebration with colour and vitality.

Bake until golden brown for a healthier take on this classic treat.
Platter Full of Rainbow: Embrace the vibrant Holi spirit with a rainbow fruit platter. Get your hands on all types of colourful fruits you can arrange like strawberries, oranges, pineapple, kiwi, grapes, and blueberries. Wash them thoroughly and dice them the way you like them. Not only is this platter visually appealing, but also offers a variety of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to uplift your immunity.

Grilled Paneer Tikka: For a protein-rich snack, savour grilled paneer tikka. Marinate paneer cubes in yogurt along with spices, skewer with colourful bell peppers, onions, and cherry tomatoes, and grill until charred. Serve with mint chutney with a dash of lemon for a tangy twist.
