    It's the season for cheer and no celebration is complete without some sweets! Not only do we want to serve delicious goodies, but we also want to keep it light and easy, less complicated but without compromising on flavour. Seems a challenge, especially when you’re pressed for time. No worries, for I bring you my all-time favourite 10 Indian Sweets Recipes For Diwali, made quick and easy.

    I hope you enjoy goodies from these 10 Indian sweets recipes for Diwali as much as my family and I do:

    1. NANKHATAI

    Nankhatai is light, crumbly, melt-in-your-mouth, cardamom and rose flavoured Indian shortbread cookies. They are an easy, eggless bake and truly a delectable treat!

    3. EASY COCONUT LADOO

    Easy Coconut Ladoos are my go-to quick laddo recipe! They turn out moist, soft, with just a slight chewiness, sweet but not cloyingly so.  Fabulously easy and quick to make too. Easy Coconut Ladoo ( laddu) | 8 Indian Sweets Recipes For Diwali

    4. COCONUT SAFFRON BURFI

    Coconut Saffron Burfi comes from my father’s recipe archives and is just to die for!  In fact, it reminds me of “kalakand” with its soft grainy texture and distinctive sweet fudgy milky taste.  Saffron and pistachio give gorgeous festive colours and flavours.

    5. BESAN BURFI

    Sweet, fudgy, gooey, this easy besan burfi has been handed down to me from my mithai loving parents. It has the most charming warmth and texture which comes from the goodness of ghee, paired with the classic fragrance of cardamom and roasted besan. Just one whiff and I’m transported to my mother’s kitchen. Each bite is pure bliss.
