My favorite festival "Deepavali" or "Diwali" is just 'round the corner.....and the weekend before Diwali is the most hectic one for me....Shopping for gifts for all my near and dear ones....cleaning and re-decorating my home....and then the most important and satisfying time.......making some yummy Indian Sweets....like Gajar Halwa....Coconut Burfi....and some yummy finger foods for the Diwali parties.....
This year I am planning to make "Mohan Thal" a Gujrathi sweet dish...got the recipe from a famed Gujrathi/Rajasthani restaurant here..probably will make it in a day or two...
