Diwali special Recipes
Hello friends. Diwali is only 8-9 days away and I am sure you all must have made some plans for diwali special recipes you are going to make this Diwali. Believe me my hubby made the list even before we made the house cleaning list;-)

We try to make some new sweets and snacks on Diwali but there are some sweets that are always there. Each family has their own set of favorite sweets and snacks. most of these recipes I am sharing today are in that list.

I have joined blog hop organised by shruti from Artsycraftsymom.com where many bloggers are sharing there Diwali posts. There are some recipes blogs, some craft blogs and book review blogs too. So please take a look at links to other blogs in the end of the post and visit the ones you find interesting 🙂

Here is a list of Most popular Diwali Recipes

Diwali Sweets

Kaju Katli

I have started making these at home from last Diwali only but these were a staple at home during festivals and we used to buy these from sweets shops. Not any more 😉

Gunjiya
Need I say more? Gunjiya is a must at Diwali and Holi.

If you want to stay away from fat laden sweets then rasgulla’s are the perfect sweet to  make.

    This is such a treasure trove of recipes. I’m tempted to try out the easier ones at least – the sweet and spicy roasted nuts looks doable as does the matthi. Was going through your blog – loved those Marie-Nutella biscuit cake. May I please share the recipe on FB? With due credit of course.
