Sharmiela Mandre, Actress
For actress Sharmiela Mandre, Easter brings back a lot of youth recollections. “Since my mom’s aspect of the circle of relatives is Catholic, we commence the day by going to church. After that, we seek advice from members of the family and generally finally end up at my grandmother’s space for a normal Easter lunch, which is a mix of dishes like Roast Chicken and Turkey, and cakes made by my grandmother. My favorite is the Banofee Pie,” says Sharmiela.

INGREDIENTS
* 250g digestive biscuits, overwhelmed
* 100g butter, melted
* Four small bananas
* 300ml carton whipping cream, whipped

On Easter, there may be one custom that we've got been following for years and that’s an Easter egg hunt. It’s mostly for the children but we've been doing it once a year. In addition to this, there's a lavish lunch that the circle of relatives feasts on. Personally, I stay up for the cakes essentially the most, prepared by my sister- in-law,” says Rohit.
