Natural colours for holi

Last year it was first holi of my son. I wanted him to enjoy it but was very scared about ill-effects store-bought colors. I googled, and found formulas for making some natural colors. It worked. So I thought I will share this information with you.
I made 3 colors, one using Beetroot, second using Besan (Chickpea flour) & Haldi (Turmeric) and third using Palak (Spinach).
Holi is already here so this year, plan to play a nature-friendly holi!
Make some colors and have fun!

Holi also calls for Puran-Poli. This is my last year’s Holi Menu: Puran Poli, Katachi Amti, Kairee Bhat, Fresh Pickle of Kairee and Milk.
I wish you all a happy & natural holi !
