Diwali is more than lights and fireworks. It is the fragrance of ghee warming in the kitchen, the sparkle of sweets on a festive platter, and the laughter of family and friends gathered around food.
In this book, Harshita Saxena shares the recipes that shaped her own Diwali celebrations. From classic mathri and besan ladoo to gulab jamun and shahi paneer, each dish comes with a story - a memory from her family kitchen, or a glimpse into the traditions that make Diwali so rich.
This is not just a recipe book; it's a small Diwali table, set with care and offered with love. The instructions are simple enough for anyone to follow, whether you are cooking for the first time or recreating childhood flavours far from home. Alongside the recipes, Harshita weaves in the cultural and emotional threads that make these foods more than meals - they are reminders of joy, sharing, and belonging.
