DIWALI AND ITS DELICACIES....HOME MADE

#diwalihomemadefaral

In this world of instant food, DINK or double income couples not having time, no skills acquired from mom it is the ebbing of traditional delicacies prepared for diwali that has started. All want to celebrate the festival of lights (though nowadays very few oil diyas but plenty of LED Chinese lamps & torans) and also the festival of limitless homemade sweets. BUT HOW ? The essence of festivity... the homemade sweets are eluding the housewife due to lack of time and skills.

As usual the lower middle class has come to the rescue of upper middle & elite who are so busy with concerns of career, money growth, child education, socialisation and above all Mobile apps (to the point of addiction).

In Mumbai the many women’s groups in chawls or certain enterprising women with space take up the task of churning out sweets n savouries with the help of skilled housewives who look out for that extra income. Some of the sites you can get the Maharashtrian Faral are:

Panshikar .com (for traditional faral shop)

Ruchkar.in (group of women preparing faral)

Dnaindia.com (group of women preparing faral)

Amazon & quikr are also into the race now for getting the Faral to your door step.

In this age of google you can browse on net to find the recipes but again who has the time and skill to make them. You can select from the following list for enjoying the diwali Taste and feel at home
