Mommy’s Kitchen Diwali Recipe- Rasgulla Float by Ralph Chef

Diwali is one of the biggest festivals of India. It unites Indians in many ways. Through its theme of the triumph of good over evil, glowing lights, decluttering, festivities, fireworks, joy, and gift-exchange. It is a joyful time for people to gather and celebrate with their family, friends and loved ones. And food plays a very important role in the celebrations.

So, what is eaten during the five-day festival of Diwali?

The immediate answer is sweets – and plenty of them. Indian sweetmeats, known as “mithai” are a cross between snack, dessert, and confectionery. If there’s one thing that captures the Indian culinary psyche, it’s mithai. Little morsels are nibbled throughout the day, on their own, with masala chai or as part of a meal alongside savory items. They are served in beautiful trays when guests come visiting. They are gift packed and sent to the homes of neighbors and they are relished before and after food.

Therefore, Diwali without sweets and savories cannot be imagined!

When I was a little girl, Diwali was zealously celebrated at my Grandparent’s house. The preparation of sweet and savory dishes used to start at least 2 weeks before the main festival. My grandmother used to make various Indian Mithai and savory dishes and a menu for each day of Diwali was drawn, well in advance.

Chickpea flour, rice flour, semolina, various beans, lentils and grains, squashes, carrots, thickened condensed milk or yogurt are normally used as base ingredients; to which cashew nuts, almonds, pistachios, chirongi nuts or raisins are added. Fragrant with sweet spices like cardamom, cinnamon, cloves or nutmeg, they’re further blinged up with saffron, rose or kewra (pandan leaf) water, and silver or gold leaf. Her food was derived from the Indian Food Wisdom and I can write a whole new blog on it.

Now, that I am a mother and not a very talented cook, I suffer from nostalgia and the fear that my little one would not know of the mighty Indian Kitchen and the flavor it exuded.

But thanks to Ralph Chef, this Diwali, I learned a very yummy, Indian delicacy based recipe that can be prepared within 30 minutes, even by a newbie home cook like me, and tastes truly divine.

I am sharing this recipe with you as a part of my Mommy’s Kitchen series on this website.

Without much ado, let’s learn a fab dish and you are free to practice it at home!
