Happy Holi-2

~ Happy Holi - 2 ~

Holi - is the most fun filled and boisterous

of Indian festivals . It is synonymous with colors,

music , fun & play . Lets add some spark to this

Holi by making some colorful edible play doh

for our little ones - a doh which little ones would love

to play , squeeze , squish & eat too ( without

even noticing that they are in the kitchen

actually helping you !!!!! )

Did I say EDIBLE ????

This is the versatile dough for making salted North Indian

crackers called Mathri / Matthi . Substitute the water

( used for binding the dough ) in the recipe with

spinach juice for green ones , beet juice for pink

& turmeric powder for yellow . Recipe (link )

Just run ur imagination wild with this

colorful magical dough ...........

Flower Power

Prepared Mathri dough - roll the doh n cut the flowers

with a cookie cutter , prick with a fork n deep fry/ bake .

Kids would surely love this part ..........

(Gadget - flower shaped cookie cutter - leaves are

easy n can be easily cut with a knife )

Colorful Swirls

Prepared Mathri dough

To make the swirl - Make 2 tortilla / roti size circles from the

pink n white dough . Sandwich together , tightly roll n cut

into 1"thick pieces . Flatten the thick roll with your

palm or a rolling pin . Prick with a fork n deep fry/ bake .

This versatile dough can be also used to make colorful

puris too ...
