Being  a fitness enthusiast, I have a low affinity for sweets however Holi is one of the festivals that makes you binge on the tasty home made Indian mithais.. Lavang Latika is one of the favorites that we tend to enjoy in this festival of color - glazed in saffron and cardamom flavored sugar syrup, these bundles of happiness transport you to a world of joy.
