Everybody carries a little holiday weight post Diwali. That’s because this is one festival which is so much about food, sweets, desserts and more sweets. No austerity or rigorous fasting and gruelling puja hours – Diwali is all about food, food and food. It’s the one time of the year when we all go a little crazy and who can blame us? The richest sweets and desserts in Indian and global cuisine make their way to our tables during Diwali. Batter fried chenna sweets soaked in sugar syrup, khoya pedas, anything in chocolate, the milky richness of rasmalai, basundi and rabdi…we could go on forever about this list. And they are so yummy that it’s a sin to think of the calories that they carry. Truly. After all Diwali comes only once a year. So feast your eyes on these sinful Diwali desserts that are worth every extra calorie oozing out of them. This is your preview to D-day.
