Festive Indo-Western Fusion Recipes with Dr. Oetker FunFoods

With changing times, our festivals have changed drastically too!! We are mostly limited to festive attire and festive food. But if you pay a keen eye, festive food is not as simple as we believe. With friends and family visiting us during this cheerful season, you can never have enough recipes to whip up. But worry not, I recently started using more of Dr. Oetker FunFoods products and tried out some Recipes. These, I’m sure, will be super duper Hit during Dussehra & Diwali. Here are some interesting recipes, created by Chef Gaurav Chadha.

I have chosen recipes that are easy to pick and eat. Which means that you would not require serving portions in separate bowls. These snacks can be picked by hand and eaten directly, leading to lesser utensil cleaning during the busy season of festivals. It is also convenient when friends want to move around in the house or if there is a dance party and they can just pick a bite and get back to doing whatever they were doing anyway.
