If someone asked us which food should avoid during Holi then we would say none because it’s the time to have fun and party and we would not want you to miss out on anything. However, it’s very important to keep a check on what you are consuming. Always check your sweets for adulterated khoya and mawa. It’s best to make your own Khoya and mawa at home because that way you can be sure about its purity.
As the saying goes- “Breakfast like a king, lunch like a queen and dinner like a beggar.” So keep that in mind and try keeping your dinner as light as possible.
