Ah, Diwali – the festival of lights! It’s a time of celebration, and of course, a time for feasting! Diwali is celebrated all over India, and the food eaten during this joyous occasion varies from region to region. But one thing is for sure – it’s all delicious!
In some regions, savory snacks such as samosas, papri chaat, and bhel puri are served. Other popular dishes include kheer, a type of rice pudding, and halwa, a type of sweet. Many dishes are also made with traditional ingredients such as ghee, sugar, and cardamom, giving them a unique flavor.
Of course, there are also many desserts consumed during Diwali. People in some regions make barfi, a type of fudge, as well as jalebi, a type of sweet fried dough. Then there’s kaju katli, a type of diamond-shaped sweet made from cashews, and ladoo, a type of ball-shaped sweet made from chickpea flour.
No matter what region you’re in, one thing is certain: Diwali is a time for feasting!
