Today is Raksha Bandhan. Food, of course, is a big part of any traditional festival. Here’s a round-up of the foods you can enjoy at home while you celebrate with your loved ones. Food preparation can often take the fun away from the festivities, especially since it falls on a weekday.  We will also show you the foods you can order from Rotifix Homestyle Meals so you can spend quality time with your loved ones.

For the uninitiated, Raksha Bandhan is a traditional Indian festival celebrating the bond between a brother and a sister. On this day, the sister ties a thread (Rakhi) on her brother’s wrist. In return, the brothers pledge to protect them and be there for them.

This year, the festival coincides with India’s Independence Day, which calls for a double celebration.
