Indian Sweets and Crackers
This box of Indian sweets was from Nic's neighbour in celebration of the Deepavali, or Diwali the Festival of Lights for our Hindus countrymen. It's the first time i see such variety of sweets as gifts, i'm impressed.
As these were locally home made, they tasted less cloying than what my colleagues bought from India sweet house - the Indian loves their sweets heavily sugared! And i came to appreciate that every races took pains in preparing traditional recipes of sweets, cakes and cookies for each of their unique festivities.
With main ingredients of raw rice, dal, nuts, rice flour, ghee and milk, i like the content of entire box while Dad preferred the crackers of Mullu Thenguzhal and Ribbon Pakoda to the Cheese Cutras and Ladoo ;)
