21 Fingerlicking Indian Recipes for #Diwalirecipes
We have them all in one place for ready use in this 21 Fingerlicking Indian Recipes Diwali.
Diwali (The festival of Lights) is one of the biggest festival celebrated by Indians in India and all over the world.
It’s when the entire country (India) is dressed with shimmering, colorful lights, houses are adorned with flowers and beautiful rangoli (colorful tattoos made on floors) are seen in many houses.
The celebrations actually start 4-5 days before the actual date of Diwali (Nov 11, 2015) with parties/get-together and lots of fun.
The main focus all the while is on ‘food’ and ‘clothes’ (As on this particular festival, we all wear new clothes).
Hence, I wanted to create a collection of 21 Fingerlicking Indian Recipes for Diwali with some awesomely delicious recipes!
You can make them for your parties or cozy comfort food at home with family.

One of my fav festival. In Malaysia, during Deepavali, I’ll eat hoards and hoards of muruku, all the curry I can get my hand on… gah varuval and mutton curry’s my favorite. Honestly, I have Indian in my blood. Really. :p Your list looks fabulous. Yum!
Molly Kumar November 8, 2015 (10:51 pm)
Hahahha, Thanks AiPing. I do love Malaysian food. I think the spices and cooking techniques of many dishes are so similar that we tend to love each other food.
