Diwali is upon us, which means the time for binge-eating delicious Diwali snacks is here. But with so many options all around, how is one to know what to pick? Allow astrology to help you, and tell you which snacks you’re likely to derive most enjoyment from, based on your sun sign. After all, astrology governs our personal preferences about a lot of things, and can often be correct about the kind of food we like as well.
Aries: Spicy chakli
Aries likes pushing boundaries, even in terms of food, which is why they love spicy eats, even if they can’t tolerate it. Chilli-loaded and extra-crispy chakli, therefore, is something they can keep eating.
Taurus: Pinni laddoo
Taureans love that wonderfully soft flavour ghee-laden snacks bring, which is why deliciously earthy and nutty snacks like pinni laddoos are their thing.
Gemini: Choddo shaak
Geminis like keeping their food light but delicious, so you’ll see them making a beeline for this healthy Bengali delicacy of fourteen different leafy greens stir fried with spices.
Cancer: Kaju katli
Comfort-loving Cancer has a soft corner for tradition, and a sweet-tooth like no other, which is why kaju katlis are their favourite snack during Diwali.
Leo: Giant motichoor laddoos
Leo is the king of the zodiac and their sweet tooth demands something epic. Giant motichoor laddoos decorated with shavings of silver, and slivers of delicious nuts, are therefore the preferred snack for these regal beings.
Virgo: Dahi vada
Virgos like food, but they also have sensitive stomachs, so you’ll most often find them reaching for the dahi vadas on Diwali. It finds that perfect balance they love between all things sweet, spicy, and cooling.
Libra: Barfi
Libra definitely has a sweet tooth like no other, so, they love a good barfi, be it chocolate, kaju or any other kind. From its fun shape to its innate Instagramability, it’s the Libra’s sweet dream come true.
Scorpio: Papdi chips
Fried food that can be consumed in large quantities is what Scorpios live for. Papdi chips are therefore the snack of choice for these people, who tend to overdo everything, including their Diwali-time papdi consumption.
Sagittarius: Anarsa
Crispy and textured, anarsas are a lot like Sagittarians themselves-hard and crunchy on the outside, but soft and warm inside, with just the right amount of sweet.
Capricorn: Gujia
Capricorns are practical people, and they even like their snacks to have secondary benefits. For instance, their favourite Diwali snack, gujiyas, may be sweet and delicious, but they are also full of healthy ingredients like coconut and dry fruits.
Aquarius: Halwa-poori
Aquarians like to switch things up, which is why their snacks are full meals, and full meals are nibbles. That is also the reason they love offbeat food combinations, like the pairing of savoury fried pooris with sweet and rich halwa, their snack of choice.
Pisces: Jalebi
Pisceans LOVE sugary snacks, and the uber-sweet jalebis that we loved as kids continue to be favourites for them. You think no one can have that much sugar in one go? Pisces will prove you wrong!
