          These are not meant for Easter. If you make these Indian sweets for Easter,you will be having a feeling of Diwali than Easter. The feeling of Easter comes only when you make and buy Easter eggs or cakes decorated with lovely bunny baskets.

            Hi Cabrina..

            I totally understand your point.. these are not meant for Easters..

            Just that we get 2 weeks of holidays here in New Zealand during Easters which is the perfect time to indulge in sweet treats with your family; and since many Indians are not really into hot cross buns, cakes, easter eggs and baking as such I have shared this post for those who would still want to make some desserts for their family like I have mentioned in the post :). I totally understand your view on making traditional food during Easter.

            Thank you for dropping by and sharing your thoughts with us.

            Regards
            Sushma
