Diwali is a Hindu Festival which is called the ‘Festival of Lights’. On this auspicious day, we normally prepare lots of sweets and share them with neighbours, relatives and friends. After 6 pm, everyone starts lighting the diyas (small earthen decorated lamps) followed by scented candles and decorative lights.
Today, I am going to share with you the recipe of a sweet called ‘Sandesh’. It is an Indian Sweet which I had eaten when I was in India. I found it so delicious and nutritious too that I had to ask for the recipe. When I came back home, I tried it and since then I do prepare it occasionally.
