Diwali 2020: Veg Diwali Party Menu With Step By Step Recipes

India is often called the land of festivals, and Diwali is definitely one such festival that brings the whole country together. The streets are all lit up, markets bustling, there are sweets and snacks everywhere you go. Diwali is one of the most ancient festivals of India and is celebrated around the country with much fervour. It celebrates the homecoming of Lord Rama after fourteen years of exile. People perform pujas on this day, dress up and indulge in a delicious feast. If you are planning to put one together this year, fret not. We have a fully planned Diwali menu that can save you time in planning et al.  

Diwali Drinks

A refreshing jaljeera (click here for recipe) is never a bad idea to kickstart a feast as decadent as this. It has all the healing spices like jeera, mint and what not and the perfect tangy and salty taste. If you are looking for something more richer, this almond and saffron milkshake(click here for recipe) may fit the bill.
