Finally from this weekend we started preparation for Diwali.
We are not at Hyd home for Diwali but still wanted our home to look spic and
span. Our entire Saturday went dusting, cleaning, etc.. and in evening we went
for grocery shopping. I slept like a log- hubby says.
On Sunday we started preparing Diwali delicacies. I had
noted down all the recipes from mom, My savior. It was my first time for me to prepare all this, but with mom’s recipes it really became simpler. So, I started
with Chakli. I had all ingredients
ready and started making dough. Once the dough was ready, hubby’s work started.
He started preparing Chakli and I
started frying it. I would say, I we were succeeded. We managed to make good Chakli.
Then I started with making Karanji. It is basically a wrap with coconut filling, deep fried in
ghee. It was simple. I have tried it earlier also, so it was not a big deal.
Though hubby helped me in this also, I was tired by his time. You know how
caring my hubby is…lol
Once we finished doing Karanji,
we started for Besan Laddu. It is the
most favorite dish of both Hubby and me. I knew how to do it but was feeling
lazy by now. But then again took help from hubby in bhunofying it. And tada..!!!
Laddu were ready..!!! what a feeling it was..like I have completed climbing a
mountain and I am on top of the world. But had no energy left to shout out, so dinner was outside.
Still 2 more delicacies to go yaar..!! Chivda and Sankarpali. Will
do it in a weeks time. Coz after that we are leaving for Mumbai.
Oh god.. can you please pass this 4 days in a flick..??!!
