Diwali 2022 : These Foods Remind Us Of Our Favourite Crackers

Diwali is the festival of lights. From lamps to diyas to candles to crackers – we are surrounded by lights all the time. While there are several reasons to anticipate and celebrate this ultimate festival of lights and camaraderie, two of the biggest attractions of this festival are definitely food and crackers. While the both do not really have much in common on face value, but we just need to look with our visually imaginative eyes to see the resemblance they have with each other. So, here is a quirky list of some of the food items that remind us of our favourite crackers – some due to their appearance and some due to their qualities and flavours. 

Chakri bomb and chakli 

This one is rather obvious. The chakli looks exactly like a chakri bomb. The fact that they are both named on the basis of them being circular in shape does make this comparison easy, but it is still interesting to note the similarities. Both chakri and chakli are like the perfect starters – they give way to more elaborate items, but even as standalones, they hold some value. 

Mirchi bomb and popcorn

Anaar bomb and raj kachori 

Yet another cracker that is already named after a food item, anaar bomb is actually way more like a rj kachori than it can ever be like a boring pomegranate. Just like an anaar bomb, raj kachauri.s entire essence is in its absolutely sparkling filling, that gives it a unique character. The best is saved for the las, as the brightest sparkles come out at last while lighting an anaar and the flavourful matar and aloo make the final appearance in the raj kachori.

Fuljhadi and dry fruits kulfi 

Now, this might seem like a stretch, but hear us out! You can absolutely not deny the similarity in the shape, size and overall appearance of a fuljhadi and kulfi. And why do we think that they resemble each other? Just like we take time to slowly finish up a stick kulfi, a fujhadi takes its own sweet time to burn out completely. People who otherwise don’t burst crackers love fuljhadi and people who are not likely to eat desserts enjoy a nice kulfi.

These are some of the food items that we love as much as we love crackers. A balanced mix of both will make your festival happy. This Diwali, eat to your heart’s content and celebrate the festival keeping your safety in mind.
