Frequently asked questions

How do you plan food for Diwali?
Food is at the heart of Diwali celebrations — especially the wonderful array of sweets (mithai) — and a little planning makes hosting the feast joyful rather than stressful. Diwali menus typically feature a generous spread of sweets like barfi, ladoo, jalebi and gulab jamun, savoury snacks such as samosas, pakora and namkeen, and a main feast of dishes, breads and sides, all shared with family and guests. To plan it calmly: decide your menu across the categories (sweets, savouries, mains), work out roughly how many you're catering for, and — crucially — decide what to make yourself versus what to buy, as a good Indian sweet shop can supply beautiful mithai and take a lot of pressure off (many people make some things and buy others). Get your shopping list sorted early, and make ahead and freeze whatever you can in the days before, so you're not doing everything at once. The biggest tip: don't take it all on yourself — share the cooking with family, accept help, and buy what makes sense, so you can actually enjoy the celebration rather than being stuck in the kitchen. Diwali food traditions vary across regions, communities and families, so plan around your own family's favourite dishes and customs. A planner simply helps you organise the spread so your Diwali table is generous and the preparation is well managed. Happy Diwali!
