    Diwali is all about gorging on mouth-watering foods

    One of the most anticipated festivals of the country, Diwali is almost here and we are already getting all the festive vibes with lit-up streets and decorated homes. The festival of lights is all about gorging on sweets and meeting friends and family. Different Indian states celebrate the festival by preparing different traditional food. Here are five traditional Diwali recipes from different states.

The dough made with these ingredients is fried to perfection to yield a sweet and crispy treat. This well-known pahadi dish has a solid texture and tastes delicious. It is best enjoyed with some kheer or rabdi. Babroo can also be stored for several weeks.

    Choddo Shaak from West Bengal

    Apart from the festival of lights, West Bengal also celebrates the occasion of Kali Puja on the same day. Bengali households prepare a savory dish called Choddo Shaak on the day before Kali Puja or Diwali which is known as Bhoot Chaturdashi. The dish is prepared using 14 green leafy vegetables. It is believed that this dish wards off evil during the festive season.
