With Holi and Gaura Purnima around the corner, one can only think of 'Puran Poli'.
This traditional sweet is specially made on the day of Holi Purnima, when Krishna plays with colors with the Vrajavasis. I could not find it in the Prasadam Laboratory , although the lab has savory versions - like Besan Roti (Chick Pea Flour Bread)

Request for recipes

Hare Krishna,

If anyone has recipes for french toast, sticky buns, scrambled curd/tofu, eggless tofu salad or any other American style classics, please share!

I am also interested in recipes that can be packed up for lunch. Many of us go into an office every day and such recipes can really be helpful.

Thank you in advance.
