Diwali Sweets and Snacks event Roundup

When i announced Diwali Sweets and Snacks Event, i had a motive of getting many sweets ideas , that i could try to prepare for diwali. Though i could not have prepared for this Diwali, next year, this round up will be very usefull for me. I received quite unique entries, How many varieties of Badam Halwa including Vaishali 's Vegan Badam Halwa, and a rare Aalu Halwa from Sundari. I Very Much enjoyed receiving multiple entries from Priya, Sharmi , Cilantro and Shivani. Though Preparing for the Roundup is time consuming job, i enjoyed every bit of putting together all your Sweet entries into this Post.

Thanks Very Much For Sending in Your Sweets and Snacks to my Diwali Sweets and Snacks Event! I have classified all the entries into Six Categories of Halwa, Milk / Khoa Sweets, Burfi's, Traditional , Laddu's and Palakaaram Snacks. Hope you all enjoy the roundup as i did.

Halwa:

Nidhya's Badam Halwa


From Halwa

Sundari's Aalu Halwa


From Halwa

Ingredients:


Potatoes - boiled & mashed without any lumps ( i used 3 large potatoes approx 350 gms)

Sugar - equal to the amount of mashed potatoes

Ghee - 150 to 200 gms.

Food color of ur wish

Method to Prepare:

First take a pan and add sugar, then add water till it gets immersed.. Let it boil till the pisukku patham.

Now add any food color of ur choice at this stage( i dint add any)..

Add the mashed potatoes and keep stirring and avoid lumps...

Once it becomes thick start adding ghee and keep stirring..

Continue the process until the halwa does not stick to the pan (nalla surundu varum). U can also check it this way - wash ur hands and if u touch the halwa it shud not stick to ur hand.. ( Be careful)..

U can also decorate with cashew/badam...

Aalu halwa is ready.. It will dissolve in ur mouth..Slurp!!!
