"Bura na mano, Holi hai!” the one day when your best friend pelting you with colours is an act of love, and chasing people with water balloons is completely acceptable. Holi isn’t just a festival; it’s a mood, an emotion, and a grand excuse to forget the world and embrace unfiltered joy. But let’s be honest, amid all the colours and celebrations, what truly keeps the spirit of Holi alive is the food and drinks that make the day even more special.
TOPS is here to ensure your Holi feast is as vibrant as the festival itself. From cooling drinks to irresistible festive favourites, here’s how to keep the party going without spending hours in the kitchen.
The Ultimate Holi Spread with TOPS
Shikanji Masala – The Official Drink of the ‘Rang War’
The sun is blazing, your face is covered in colours, and just when you think you might collapse from all the running around, someone hands you a glass of shikanji, pure bliss. With TOPS Shikanji Masala, you don’t need to hunt for the perfect spice blend. Just squeeze lemon, sprinkle the masala, stir, and sip, instant refreshment to keep you going all day.
Dahi Bhalla – The Coolest Part of Holi
Holi is all about heat, both from the sun and the spice levels in some of the snacks. That’s why a plate of Dahi Bhalla, easily made with TOPS Dahi Bhalla Instant Mix, is essential. Soft lentil dumplings soaked in creamy yoghurt, topped with TOPS Dahi Bhalla sauce, bring the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. The best part? You don’t need to make complicated chutneys from scratch, just drizzle, mix, and enjoy.
Sauces – The Game Changers of the Snack Table
Holi snacks are incomplete without the right condiments. Whether you’re munching on pakoras, samosas, or chaat, a good sauce can make all the difference. TOPS Tomato Ketchup adds the perfect sweet tang, while TOPS Schezwan Hot Chutney is for those who love a spicy kick. Red Chilli for fiery kick or Chilli Tamarind for that zesty and aromatic oomph or Kebab Sauce for those tender mouthwatering Kebabs. Keep them handy, because one dip can turn any snack into a Holi favourite.
Gulab Jamun – The Sweet Ending Every Celebration Needs
It’s not a real festival until someone says, "Bas ek aur gulab jamun le lo!" These syrup-soaked, melt-in-the-mouth delights are more than just a dessert, they are an emotion. And the best part? They taste even better when you’re exhausted from all the colour play. Make them in a few minutes with TOPS Gulab Jamun Instant Mix, serve them warm, and watch as they disappear in seconds.
Khaman Dhokla – The Light & Fluffy Must-Have
For those who prefer something savoury but just as indulgent, khaman dhokla is a festive essential. Soft, spongy, and mildly sweet, it’s the perfect snack made with TOPS Khaman Dhokla Instant Mix to keep the energy up without feeling too heavy. Pair it with TOPS Mint Chutney for an instant flavour boost.
Kulfi – The Coolest Way to Beat the Heat
Drenched in colour, wearing white kurtas, sunglasses on, and in one hand, kulfi. Now, is it traditionally a Holi treat? Maybe not. But is it the perfect way to chill after an intense colour fight? Absolutely! Badam Pista, Chocolate, Rajbhog, Mango, Rabri Badam and more, TOPS Kulfi mixes come in various flavours, to help you with a Holi dessert as fun as the festival itself. Because let’s be honest, if Holi’s about breaking the rules, why not break some food traditions too?
Thandai – The Official Drink of Holi Festivities
If there’s one drink that truly represents Holi, it’s thandai, rich, nutty, and perfectly spiced. But let’s be real, making it from scratch can be time-consuming. That’s where TOPS Milk Shake mixes step in, giving you a quick and delicious way to whip up this Holi classic without the fuss. Just blend, pour, and let the celebrations continue.
Celebrate with Colours, Flavours & Festive Cheer
Holi is about letting go, celebrating life, and indulging in the best flavours of the season. With TOPS, you don’t need to spend hours preparing, just grab your favourites, mix them up, serve them, and enjoy the festival the way it’s meant to be. So go ahead, throw some colours, dance like no one’s watching, and let the feast begin.
Because at the end of the day, Holi isn’t just a festival, it’s a memory in the making.
Holi Hai!
