My holiday treats started with Diwali sweets and savories this year. I think I skipped making anything last year (maybe even the year before) but my nephew started college and I wanted him to have something festival-related to make it feel like the holiday.
So far I’ve made:
– Almond fudge (badam katri / katli)
– Gram flour fudge (magaj / besan laddoo)
– Cashew fudge (kaju katri)
– Nutella balls aka date and nut energy bites which are really my grandmother’s date and peanut laddoos which were adapted for (and then by) the youngest generation with hazelnuts and cocoa.
– Spicy, crunchy masala puris
I have another batch of almond fudge to go and maybe another round of magaj too, let’s see, and then I can move on to Thanksgiving treats.
(Though I have a feeling I am going to end up making a “few” more puris over the weekend first.)
