Diwali is coming!!! It is my most favorite holiday of the year! We start getting ready for Diwali a couple of weeks ahead of time. We make sweets, buy new clothes, clean the whole house from top to bottom and decorate the home. So many things to do. So little time! Currently, our kitchen is full of fragrant smells of tasty Diwali sweets being made. So yummy! Having sweets for Diwali is a tradition and even for folks who cannot make them, sweets are purchased for sharing and for eating at home. I have put together a collection of Diwali sweets recipes for you! Click here or keep scrolling for delicious barfi, laddoo and other sweets recipes! This is by no means a complete collection of all Indian sweets recipes but they are definitely the ones we make every year without fail. For Diwali we also make a big feast of special vegetarian dishes including savory snacks and sweets. After we finish our prayers, we break our fast by feasting on these special dishes! Afterwards we light diyas, candles and string lights. Back in Fiji, we also played with fireworks & sparklers and shared our feast with neighbors, friends and family. After eating, we would drive around to check out everyone's Diwali decorations and lights. Here in the US, Diwali is a bit quieter but just as special. I just absolutely adore Diwali! Happy Heart!
