Random Blog: Diwali Delights - The dishes made during Diwali

By -

 

Who doesn't know about the 'Diwali' festival in India? As an Indian, I am truly proud that we celebrate such a joyful, light-filled, sparkling, and happiness-filled festival once every year. However, Diwali isn't just about the diyas (earthen lamps) and crackers; it is also renowned for its delicious sweets and snacks. Let me share some of the foods that we prepare in our homes for this festive occasion.

1. Murukku:

Murukku is a popular South Indian snack that is made during Diwali. It is a crunchy, savory snack made from rice flour and urad dal flour, seasoned with sesame seeds and with a hint of asafoetida (hing). The dough is typically shaped into spiral or coil patterns using a special press or mold (Murukku Kuzhai), and then deep-fried until crispy. 



2. Adhirasam:

Adhirasam is a deep-fried sweet snack made from a mixture of rice flour, jaggery, and a hint of cardamom powder. The dough is shaped into discs and then fried in oil or ghee until they become golden brown and crispy on the outside, while remaining soft and chewy inside.



3. Gulab Jamun:

I think this dish doesn't need any explanation because this dish is famous all over India. Diwali is incomplete without these soft, sweet jamuns. 

4. Spicy Masal Vadai:

Spicy masala vada is made by grinding soaked chana dal with spices like Onion, garlic, and green chilies. This mixture is shaped into small patties and deep-fried until they're crispy on the outside and soft inside. Masala vada is enjoyed with chutney or as a side dish with meals. This recipe is unavoidable during Diwali festivals.





Not only this we will also eat Mutton kurma, Chicken Gravy, idly, poori, Briyani, Chicken 65, and the list goes on. Though all these were high in calories I don't mind eating it once every year.  So for me, Diwali is not just about lights but also more about food, culture, and Tradition.

Blog Post - How did my book-reading journey started

 H ow did my book-reading journey started When I was a little girl I used to see lots of regional books filled the entire shelf of my dad's room. He is very generous and will always allow me to touch those books but I was not allowed with the pen or pencil into that room. Of course due to some damage control preservation. Whenever I enter that room the old book presented in that room will give me a warm hug through its dedicated book smell. So whenever I entered that room I used to sniff those book's wonderful smell and will open those books and there I could find the coffee-stained color inner pages. When I go through those books I used to see the small classic old ads for Pond's Powder Tin, Colgate tooth powder, Hamam soap, etc.   The small tiny black letters, the yellow stained pages, and the pencil art inbetween the novels all were purely nostalgic to remember.  Since my 7th grade I started to read my regional novels and then when I hit 9th the public exam pre-coaching

INDIGO EARTH, the Golden, Satyuga, is very interesting and informative. What are the changes we expect to witness and How? Greetings. Indigo Earth is the Golden age. Mother Earth in its entirety is transiting into being the Indigo Earth. The changes are mentioned in the book. The answer to the ‘How’ makes it a guidebook. We all are an intrinsic part of this experience. The transition has begun. There are many who are like a guiding light, a light house, enabling others to transit. They are there. The transition is smooth sailing. 2. Spirituality, awakening, infinite consciousness, self-realization, nirvana are the terms which are associated with renunciation or sanyas. Is it true?  Hahaha…. It’s a lifestyle. Being in awareness of the self and living it is a lifestyle. We choose, to live a life of unconditional lov

Tales of Unstoppable Women written by Dr Urmi Thakker . The idea of creating such a book is really appreciatable. The cover looks very impressive and the images given inside the book too. About the book: This book is not a fiction or regular storybook. This book is a collection of short stories and that too not a fiction one its about the women who struggled but succeeded in their life and fulfilled their dreams. The book has the total number of seven stories and each story are about fifteen to twenty pages. The story covers the women and her life from different levels and how she fulfilled the dreams. There are pictures of those dream winners by the end of each story and three self reflection was asked to their readers. To know more about the story and these questions please do read the book. My review: The idea of creating these kinds of a book with the picture is very good and inspiring. The narration is really good and in detail. Everyone will struggle with one point and we ne
