As we prepare to welcome winter and welcome the warmth of spring, we can’t help but be excited to celebrate Basant Panchami’s wonderful festival! This harvest festival marks the official end of winter! This year, people across the country are celebrating Basant Panchami on February 5. In the eastern states of the country, this festival is celebrated as Saraswati Puja, while in the southern states it is called Sri Panchami. Each region of our country has a unique and fun way to celebrate this festival, but what they all have in common is that everyone celebrates it by enjoying mouthwatering mithai!

Who doesn’t love mithai?! Indian desserts have a certain richness and deliciousness that cannot be compared anywhere else. Motichoor ke laddu, gulab jamun, jalebi, rasmali, kaju katli, besan ki pinni, just thinking of these sweet delights makes our mouth water. As we all know, the best way to celebrate any and every festival is to eat mithai, but the pandemic has made buying mithais from outside risky. What to do then? We can’t have a festival and not enjoy mithai! So the safest option is to make mithai at home! We found a video on the internet that shows you how to cook Basant Panchami’s six special dishes at home.
