Diwali Faral, the best friend of your taste buds

Either you are a food-y or a Diwali enthusiast, Diwali Faral stands perfect to rejuvenate, every any moment. These sweet and savory items are more like a best friend of your taste buds.

But, do you know why the custom of making faral items are important in Diwali? Why your Diwali Evening is almost a waste without these sweets and savories?

Here's why it is,

What sets this custom apart is that it is practiced by households of almost every sect and religion, unlike some religion-specific rituals related to Diwali.

The main appeal of Diwali has been its aspect of encompassing several innovative customs and rituals which bring together different reaches of society for a certain period every year. And the faral custom is a perfect embodiment of this fact. Different types of faral are made in different households. The highlights of the faral are various types of ladoos, the crescent-shaped karanjis, flaky ghee-soaked Shankar pale, crunchy cheddar, hot chaklis, sweet, flaky charlotte dusted with icing sugar.

But nowadays, all sorts of fancy dishes are served at the parties, but "My happiest memories are of me as a little girl, going with my grandma to Batashe wali Galli to buy sweets," is almost gone.

Kheel Natasha and khilona i.e. sugar crafted into animal shapes was an inescapable part of growing up, and sales would soar during the Diwali season. This was (and is) also the season for melas, stocked with the Lavalas selling all manner of chaat, popcorn.

Markets overflow with vendors selling clay and papier mâché toys for girls and boys and clay diyas. The shop shelves brim with pinni (dry fruit mithai), fudgy Mohan thal, Kaju Barfi sheathed in a thin layer of dark, jalebis, laddoos, etc. At Diwali, it doesn’t matter whether you are vegetarian or not - everyone is united over their love of sweets.

For Punrkars, the highlight of Diwali food (or Diwali Faral) is the sweet and savory breakfast. Shingris, (baked or deep-fried stuffed dumplings), types of ladoos, the crescent-shaped karanjis, flaky ghee-soaked Shankar pale, crunchy cheddar, hot chaklis ate with loni (white homemade butter); sweet, flaky charlotte dusted with icing sugar and kept crisp or drenched in syrup; the biscuity anarsa made from rice flour and jaggery.

Among all these Faral Items, here is the list of inseparable items, without any, Punrkar's Diwali Evening is not possible.

Chivda

It's a demanding, quick, and healthy item of Diwali faral. Core ingredients in this are flattened rice (Chivda). However, this child can be made in different styles which includes Poha Chivda, Nashikche Chivda, Thick Poha Chivda, Fried Chivda, etc.

This easily digestible form of raw rice is very popular across India, Nepal, and Bangladesh, and is normally used to prepare snacks or light and easy, fast food in a variety of Indian cuisine styles, some even for long-term consumption of a week or more.

Chakli

Chakli is a savory snack from India. It is a spiral-shaped, pretzel-like snack with a spiked surface. Chakli is typically made from flours of rice, Bengal gram (chickpea), and black gram (urad dal). It has several variations, depending on the types and proportion of flours used.

Depending on different religions, you'll find variation in its preparation style, its name, its belief, its taste, and of course its origin. But one common thing you will find in every variation of chaklis is "It will provide you immense enjoyment when you eat it".

Karanji

These are dumplings stuffed with dry coconut and sugar, deep-fried or baked. Today, this basic stuffing has been replaced by unique stuffings, such as dried fruits, figs, etc.

They are perfect to eat with a hot cup of tea at any time of the day. Most communities have a variant of this recipe and are known in Gujarat as Gujiya and Karchikkai in Karnataka.

Besan Ladoo

Festivals are incomplete without sweets and in India, festivals are incomplete without ladoos.

Ladoo, an Indian sweet can be made using various ingredients and is round in shape.

Besan Ladoo is a round dessert ball made with gram flour which is called besan in Hindi and hence the name.

We make ladoos out of so many ingredients, there’s motichoor laddoo, atta ladoo, coconut ladoo, rava ladoo, this lad that ladoo, d this list is endless.

Out of all these amazing ladoos, besan ladoo is my absolute favorite.

Shankarpali

Shankarpali also is known as shakkarpara, is characterized by its diamond shape. It consists of sugar, ghee butter, milk, maida flour, salt, and semolina.

It's another version called 'Tikat shakkarpara' is a savory, spicy dishes. The only difference in this is it uses a lot of spices to make it spicy and savory.

But I love this version of shankarpali.
