It is that time of the year when we celebrate Krishna’s birthday and with Janmashtami around the corner it is time to set the table.

The birthday of Lord Krishna is a mix of feasting and fasting and the food that is made is always to appease the child form of the God.

Hence for most children this is when they can snack unabashed and homes are abuzz with the family making delicious treats.

Here are some recipes that you can make this festival.
