1- Gulab Jamun

The festival of Diwali is incomplete without sweets. And what’s better than the soft, juicy Gulab Jamun for the celebration? Fill them with dry fruits and serve hot with chashni to get the best taste.

2- Coconut Laddu

Laddus have always been an integral part of every Indian celebration. Coconut Laddus are the heart of Diwali. The sweet taste wrapped in the crunchiness of grated coconut is truly incredible.

3- Shakarpara

Shakarpara is a popular sweet snack in India. You can make it with maida or wheat flour, whichever you prefer. I like to shape Shakaparas into diamonds and then bake them.

4- Paneer Tikka

The delicious, flavoursome Paneer Tikka is the star of any celebration. Add lots of fresh veggies like cheery tomatoes, bell peppers, mushrooms, and onions tampered with various spices.

5- Chakli

Chakli looks and tastes amazing. The perfect blend of spicy and salty flavours is wrapped in a crunchy texture to give you the perfect taste. It is made with a variety of flours and Indian spices.

6- Bonda

Bonda is another popular food item made during Diwali time. The flavourful balls of potatoes are covered in a thick paste of various flour mixes and then fried. Best tastes with dahi and green chutney

7- Chivda

The pan-roasted Chivda is one of the easiest and most wholesome food items to make during Diwali. Mix a variety of spices as per your taste and add peanuts, curry leaves, etc., to add extra flavour.

8- Mathri

You know Mathri as a delicious tea-time snack. But do you know that it is also a popular Diwali food item? Pro tip: Add kasuri methi and onion seeds to make the Mathris even more delicious.

9- Aloo Tikki

Crispy aloo patties with dahi and chutney are literally a piece of heaven. Garnish it with chopped onions, tomatoes, coriander leaves and pomegranate seeds. Enjoy the flavours with every bite.

10- Masala Milk

Diwali celebration is incomplete without a glass of warm masala milk. Don’t forget to add crushed almonds, cashews and a pinch of kesar on top to satisfy your taste buds.
