Diwali preparations are in full swing!!!
Festivals are just the perfect time to spend with family and friends. I am sure most of you are preparing lots of sweets for get togethers and parties.
Every year on Diwali when I prepare sweets, snacks, and decorate our home, I always miss my childhood. Growing up, we always had so much fun during the festival. My favorite part was to help in decorating the house. I remember my dad always ordered those big garlands of orange Calendula flowers for decorating the main door, entrance and temple. We used to make so many rangolis and always had some homemade sweets to munch on. A tradition that I always miss here in the US is to make Gharonda. It was a miniature home made of bricks and mud. My sister and I both just loved playing with it.
Every year, I try to recreate the memories for our kids, and sweets play a really important part in that. I always strive to make several snacks and sweets, so I always look for nice and easy ideas.
Today I am going to share a recipe that is a fusion recipe. It is gorgeous in looks, delicious, and fancy- this is sure to wow your guests.
