Diwali is the major festival in India, and with it brings a lot of joy, fun and frolic. Not only is it a Festival Of Lights but in its own right it is also the Festival of sweets. Housewives all over the country start the serious business of chopping, grinding and roasting nuts and preparing flour for the sweets at least a fortnight before Diwali. It is a custom to exchange sweets with each other on Diwali and you will fin that the more traditional households will always gift homemade sweets instead of the commercially made ones. And that they taste delicious, there's no doubt about!
