About Diwali

Diwali or Deepavali is an Indian festival of lights celebrated during the autumn season for 3 – 4 days. It is one of the biggest Hindu festivals. The festival symbolizes the victory of good over evil, prosperity, and hope.

Mainly Diwali is celebrated by cleaning and decorating homes with lights, candles, lamps, colourful rangoli, and fresh flowers. Sharing gifts and sweets with loved ones, worshipping Goddess Lakshmi, and bursting crackers.

Food is a quintessential part of the Diwali celebration.

From dry snacks and sweets to indulgent thali meals, a lot of good food is prepared in every Indian kitchen to celebrate the festival of Diwali.

I am sharing a collection of my favourite Diwali recipes I make everywhere to celebrate the festival, get-togethers, or parties.
