All it requires is a handful of staples that are easily available; in the kitchen, a few minutes on the gas, and a drizzle of festive spirit to make something delightful.
Coconut Ladoo
Coconut ladoo is a festive favourite that can be prepared in just a few minutes. Prepared with some grated coconut, condensed milk, and a hint of cardamom or elaichi, these bite-sized ladoos are creamy and aromatic. The mixture needs little cooking, just a quick stir until it gets a thick consistency, then rolled to make perfect round shape ladoos. These ladoos remain fresh for longer days and are a tasty addition to the Diwali spread. The sweet aroma and creamy texture make these coconut ladoos a hit among both kids and adults alike. These ladoos are ideal when you have little or no time left for preparation.
Besan Barfi
It is a classic sweet that can be prepared only by roasting some gram flour (besan), ghee, and sugar. Once the besan turns golden and emits its nutty aroma, you can add sugar syrup to it and spread the mixture to cool and set. Within just a few minutes, the barfi moulds into soft, fudgy square shaped that taste festive but light. The earthy sweetness of the roasted besan and the fragrance of ghee hold the essence of classic Diwali flavours. It is perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy homemade sweets without spending hours in the kitchen.
Instant Kalakand
Kalakand, loved for its grainy, milky consistency and taste, can be prepared instantly with the help of paneer and condensed milk. Just cook the mixture until it gets a thick consistency. Hereafter, spread it on a plate, and top it with nuts. The mixture sets quickly with a rich, moist, sweet taste that tastes the same as the traditional slow-cooked version. This instant version keeps the authentic sweetness and creamy bite while also saving hours that are required for preparation.
Chocolate Dry Fruit Bites
If you wish to give a modern twist to your Diwali desserts, then chocolate dry fruit bites are the best option. Prepared by combining the richness of melted dark chocolate with the crunch of almonds, pistachios, and raisins, it is an easy festive delight to try your hand at. Just mix, let the mixture set a bit, and then cut into small pieces. The result is a crunchy treat that requires little effort to make. These bites add a touch of refinement to your Diwali spread and balance the indulgence with nutrition. Ideal for gifting or snacking during the card parties, they please both traditional and contemporary palates.
Rava Kesari
It is a vibrant, saffron-infused semolina or sooji dessert that can be prepared in barely ten minutes. The roasted rava is cooked with ghee, sugar, and some water until it turns soft and silky, then flavoured up with cardamom and a few strands of saffron. The result is a sweet, silky dessert that has a melt-in-the-mouth consistency and has a delightful fragrance. Quick, pleasant, and giving all the festive feel, this South Indian favourite perfectly completes festive meals and can be prepared in bulk during gatherings.
