Vrindavan Street Food: Holi is just a few days away. Holi is the festival of colors. The mention of Holi brings to mind Mathura and Vrindavan. If you want to experience something different this Holi, there's no better place than Mathura and Vrindavan. The Lathmar Holi here is famous worldwide, but today we're talking about some of the local specialties. A trip to Braj is incomplete without savoring the spicy and sweet food while wandering the streets of Braj. So, let's explore the must-try foods in Mathura and Vrindavan.

Must-eat these dishes in Mathura and Vrindavan 
1. Bedai with Aloo Sabzi

A morning in Braj feels a little lacking if it doesn't start with Bedai. This is a special kind of puri, made from flour and urad dal paste. When it's fried hot and served with a spicy and tangy potato curry, the flavor is enhanced. The special thing is that onion and garlic are not used in this potato curry.

2. Makhan Mishri

Have you ever been to Vrindavan and not tried Lord Krishna's favorite butter? It's impossible. The white butter served in small clay pots, topped with granular sugar candy, will instantly immerse you in devotion. It's also offered as an offering in temples. It's so light and fresh that it melts in your mouth. Therefore, whenever you visit Mathura-Vrindavan, be sure to try it.

3. Mathura's Peda

If you're fond of sweets, you should definitely try the Pedas here. Made from khoya, sugar, and pure ghee, these cakes are slightly grainy and have a deep flavor. The aroma of cardamom sprinkled on top makes them even more special.

4. Matka Lassi

Amid the hustle and bustle of Holi, having something cold is a delight. The Matka Lassi here is very thick and creamy. Made with yogurt, sugar, and rose syrup, this lassi is topped with lots of cream and dry fruits.

5. Thandai

The festival of Holi is incomplete without Thandai. This drink, made with milk, saffron, rose petals, fennel, and a variety of nuts, is the heart of Braj Holi. Drinking it infuses the body with new energy.

6. Aloo Tikki Chaat

For those who like spicy food, the Aloo Tikki here is the best. Crispy tikkis fried in ghee, served with yogurt, dry ginger, green chutney, and spices, are mouth-watering at the very sight.

7. Jalebi with Rabri

Crispy jalebis dipped in hot sugar syrup and served with cold, thick rabri! This combination is simply extraordinary.

8. Dahi Bhalla

Soft and spongy urad dal bhallas are simply delicious when served with cool, sweet yogurt and spicy chutney.
