Deepavali, which translates as ‘a row of lights’, is one of the most significant of all Hindu festivals and is celebrated over a period of 5 days and as Diwali is just on our doorstep, we decided to move over regular snacks this year and treat ourselves and the guests to some lip-smacking delicacies. This year, Diwali falls on November 4 which gives us enough time to whip up a hoard of goodies.
The festival symbolises the victory of light over darkness, of good over evil and of knowledge over ignorance. On this day, diyas, candles and lamps are placed all around the house, to ‘light’ the way to knowledge and victory.
Food plays an important role in the celebration of Diwali, in addition to all the fun, gambling and firecrackers surrounding the festival. So, check out these Diwali-special snack recipes curated for both vegetarian and non-vegetarian people to explore during this festive season.
