FESTIVE SEASON

Making the Diwali sweets and savory items was (and is) time consuming. But at the end of the day, it brought about a different feeling altogether, which market-bought food can never replicate. Maybe, it was the freshness of the ingredients and the love with which they were made, added to the taste.

During Diwali, New Year and Bhai Beej, the whole house teemed with guests from far and wide. While we got gift money, new clothes, sweets and fire crackers, they ate to their heart’s content, often asking for second helpings. I specifically remember that my grandmother’s Mathia papads were a hit with all the guests; we always fell short of them, no matter how many we made! Some of the guests from our native got them packed for the journey back home!

The years have passed and most of us live in nuclear families and lead a hectic lifestyle. Many of us don’t have the time to make everything from scratch and have to depend on the local bakers, sweetmeat shops and supermarkets. But what hasn’t changed is the fact that our faces bear the largest of smiles merely thinking of the lip-smacking Diwali snacks.

On that note, here are some of the traditional Diwali fare that will surely make you nostalgic.

1. Namakparra and Shakarparra – These are deep fried crispy snacks, which include coconut powder. While Namakparra are savory, Shakarparras are sweet and are staple food during Diwali. Namakparra can also be served with chutney or a dip.

2. Chevdo – Chevdo are basically a mixture of flat rice flakes that are roasted with different spices, groundnuts, dried fruits and other snacks. Different regions of India have a different version of Chevdo. They are often stored in large amounts and served to the guests.

3. Sev – Sev are basically long fried strips of gram flour mixed with spices. These are then broken into small pieces and served as savory snacks. The crisper the sev, the better they taste!

4. Pakoras – Pakoras or fritters are one of the favorites in Diwali or any other festival for that matter. They are made from Bengal gram flour, vegetables and spices and served hot with spicy or sweet chutney.

5. Coconut Barfi – Coconut barfi is a favorite with kids and the adults. The sweet is made from coconut and condensed milk, set and cut in neat squares with silver coating on the top.

6. Gulab Jamun – Gulab Jamun is a spongy sweet fried till it’s golden brown and dunked in sugar syrup flavored with rosewater and saffron.

7. Ghughra – Ghughra is a fried pastry, which is stuffed with dry fruits, sugar and desiccated coconut. Some parts of the country also calls these as Karanji.

8. Halwa – Halwa is a sweet made from semolina and clarified butter. There are several varieties of this sweet dish. The semolina can also be replaced by vegetables such as carrot or bottle guard and garnished with dry fruits and saffron.

9. Kheer – Just like halwa, kheer is another traditional Diwali sweet that has many varieties. In other parts of the country, it is also called Payesh or Payasam.

10. Jalebi – Jalebis are crisp sweets that are dipped in saffron flavored syrup and is a seasonal favorite.

11. Badam Barfi – This Indian sweet is fudge made from almonds, sugar and ghee. It’s a staple in many households during the festivities.

12. Kaju Barfi – Just like Badam Barfi, Kaju Barfi or Kaju Katli are another Diwali staple, made from cashew, sugar and ghee.

13. Laddoos – Laddoos are round sweets that are a part of almost every Indian household. Made from besan, boondi, dates, coconut and many other ingredients, these are also served as Prasad or offerings to the deities.

14. Samosa – No Diwali food list, especially in North India is complete without Samosas. The triangular delicacies are generally stuffed with potato and spices and deep fried.

15. Kachoris – Kachoris are round pastries stuffed with lentils or mawa and served with condiments.

16. Aloo Tikki – Aloo tikki are fried potato cakes accompanies with generous amounts of chutney, chopped onions and coriander that adds to the yumminess.

17. Cholafali – Cholafali is a traditional snack in Gujarat and is light and crispy. Sprinkled with spices, it is not to be missed in the festive season.

sugar free modak recipe | no sugar no jaggery modak | sugar less modak with detailed photo and video recipe. a unique and healthy way of making rice flour based dumplings or modak recipe with dates, nuts and khoya. sweet dumplings are the main offerings for lord ganesha during the ganapati festival or ganesha chaturthi.

sugar free modak recipe | no sugar no jaggery modak | sugar less modak with step by step photo and video recipe. modak recipes are very popular offerings to lord ganesha and are generally made during the chauthi festival. it can be made with myriad stuffing including chocolate, sugar, jaggery and even mawa and milk powder. but this is a unique no sugar modak recipe made with nut and dates stuffing, and thus making a healthy modak recipe.

this is my 3rd year celebrating ganesha chaturthi with hebbars kitchen and my 3rd attempt with modak recipe. yearly i have been posting a type of modak recipe, and this i thought of posting something unique and healthy recipe. last year i had posted the traditional ukadiche modak recipe without any shaper or mould. as a matter of fact, in this post, i have shown both ways with mould and by pleating with hand. i find using shaper or mould is very easy and quick, but certainly does not match the satisfaction and content that you get with handmade modak. having said that, the mould modak’s are very pretty, symmetric and presentable. hence if you are planning to share it with friends and family, i would recommend using mould modak recipe.

furthermore, some tips and suggestions while making sugar free modak recipe. firstly, this is a no sugar and no jaggery modak, but that does not mean it does not have sugar content in it. i have added dates, khoya which has sugar content in it and hence you may need to reconsider if you have sugar related problems. secondly, the stuffing quantity can be easily varied and can be stuffed as per your preference. also, if you are using mould or shaper, apply a thin rice dough covering first and then followed by stuffing. lastly, these steamed modak, can last long for 3-5 days easily if stored in a dry container. you can also refrigerate it and microwave it for 20-30 seconds before serving it.
