I’m not overly familiar with Indian dishes and customs, so I was just wondering if anyone could help me out. What are the most special Indian dishes and desserts that you could make, especially around holiday or festival seasons?
I guess what I’m asking is, what’s your equivalent of turkey on Thanksgiving or hot chocolate for cold winter nights?
India is one of the few countries in the world that have different backgrounds, different religions living together and enjoying and celebrating festivals. As a matter of fact some people say that India is a country where a festival celebrated everyday. There is so many festivals in India, some of them are Baisakhi, Diwali, Dussehra, Ganesh-Chaturthi, Holi, Janmashtami, Karwa-Chauth, Onam, Pongal, Rakhi, Eid, Lohri, Christmas and many more. Some of the famous Indian sweet dishes are Motichur ke ladoo, Besan Halwa, Kheer, Gajar Halwa, Sevai Payassam and many more
yes indeed india is a country of variation, there are different varieties of people, religions, traditions, food, etc etc for different festivals different kinds of food is prepared in different parts of the country, for instance on ganesh chaturthi modak is prepared, pongal on onam, on sankranthi different kinds sesame dishes like laddoos, bajra-sesame rotis, mixed vegetable saag(curry), etc, on nag panchami different kinds of laddoos, jowar popcorns, kheer are prepared, on dasara puran puri along with other delicacies is prepared, the list is endless. i think this is not enough, a book should be written on this
