6 Banging Bhang Dishes Like Pakoras & Pedas To Make At Home This Holi

Holi and bhang are almost always used simultaneously in a single breath. And when someone thinks of bhang, they’re always reminded of a chilled drink. Well, that’s obviously the OG way to consume bhang, but this got us thinking, whether it could be used in other dishes? So, we ended up scouring through the internet and we stumbled upon a couple of recipes. Here’s a list of 6 such bhang recipes that are totally worth trying!

1. Bhaang Thandai

Now Bhang Thandai needs absolutely no introduction to y’all. This sweet drink is a complex blend of flavours often made using ingredients like melon seeds, milk, fennel seeds, saffron and TONS more that give it an exquisite taste. To make it more trippy one can add crushed bhang seeds (AKS hemp seeds) and viola! You have your bhang thandai. Easy-peasy, right?
