Diwali Sweets for sale in Toronto by Xanada

Today marks the start of Diwali, the Indian festival of lights. And like any good festival – it brings with it lots of delicious FOOD! Diwali in particular is marked by elaborate feasts, so large quantities of food, in particular sweets and snacks are called for (Chow has a recipe for the sweet sesame snack, Til Ladoo). The BBC has a list of dishes typically served, though of course feasts will vary widely according to region. So just make something tasty! The food blog Aayi’s recipes has some excellent ideas.
