Diwali, festival of lights, is all about bringing families and friends together. And when your loved ones are around, you know there has to be delicious food to make it more joyful! Festive gatherings can get overwhelming when you have to plan everything. So let me help you lessen that burden with deciding on what to make for Diwali feast!
I personally like to serve 2-3 fun items for appetizers. Then for main course I like to add paneer dish, vegetable dish and lentil/beans dish. Rotis, naan, kulcha which I tend to just get pre-made and plain rice or biryani goes well with main course. And then end it with couple of amazing desserts which can be prep ahead!

I also like to serve some munchies for fun. Mainly dry Indian snacks you find at Indian grocery stores. Mahiya, chorafali, chakri, papdi gathiya, kaju katli, peda, spicy nuts all are some good options. For condiments I love serving sweet, spicy, galicky chutneys as well as Indian style Pickled jalapeños.
I hope you find this Diwali menu helpful. If you end up making any of these recipes, leave me a comment blow or tab me on Instagram @myvegetarianroots. I would love to get feedback from you!
