The Diwali Mood

Indian festivals are colorful with lots of food, frolic and fun. Especially Diwali, a month ahead of the festival, whomever you meet, will greet with the question "Diwali ke liye, kya ban raha hai? Translates to " What are you making for Diwali?". The talks will be around Diwali shopping, how much cleaning work is still pending, etc, etc.

Growing up, we 3 siblings had so much fun and expectations around Diwali. The shopping for new dress, appa bringing bagful of crackers from his office, amma making tins and tins of Diwali sweet treats. I feel my kids, kind of miss that experience. Yes, we too celebrate Diwali here in Dubai, but its not the same as done in Chennai, India.

How I Celebrate Diwali here

I usually make Sweets and savories a week ahead of the festival. God's grace we have a good gang and friends, family and acquaintances, who will be eagerly looking forward to the festival and also for the exchange of Diwali treats. This part of meeting, greeting and sharing actually makes up to the missing the back home Festival vibes.

Speaking of Sweets, have you decided what you are planning to make? if not then have look at the Diwali Collection here. I m planning to make Dehrori, a chattisgarh special Diwali sweet treat this year.

We try to meet friends on the weekend, plan a Lunch or a Dinner party at someone's home. Light some sparklers in the evening, of course entire house will be lit up in the diyas. For the past 2-3 years, i m trying to capture a family photo during this time of the year. It is a task, with 3 boys though all are grown up, they still act like toddlers while taking photo, especially a family photo. That's how the day goes for us.

All it takes is Mixed nuts powder and making of sugar syrup and the recipes comes together in minutes. For some getting 1 string sugar syrup might be little tricky, but it isn't that hard.

I have made the fudge by pulsing the nuts, but these days you get readymade nuts powder in the market, with that it is even more easier. I get my almond and pistachio nuts powder from carrefour market here, superb quality and comes in handy for quick desserts all the time.
