Deepavali<\/a> (12 November), the Hindu Festival of Lights, celebrates the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance. It is associated with a rich tapestry of traditions such as lighting oil lamps (diyas<\/em>) and feasting<\/a> with family and friends. For those who celebrate the holiday, the festive period isn\u2019t complete without tables heaving with traditional Indian snacks, from savoury bites to melt-in-your-mouth sweets.<\/p>

Many of these treats are prepared with ghee (clarified butter), which symbolises purity. In Hindu prayer rituals, sweets are commonly offered to deities, a practice which is extended to Deepavali to offer thanks and seek blessings. In Singapore, you can find a dizzying array of traditional Indian snacks at various stalls and restaurants around Little India. If you\u2019re not sure of what to sample, here\u2019s a starter list of familiar favourites and lesser-known specialities.<\/p>

JALEBI<\/strong><\/p>

Several years ago, it was near impossible to attend an Indian wedding without hearing the risqu\u00e9 \u2018Jalebi Baby\u2019 by Canadian rapper Tesher. This once-trending track can be seen as an ode to its namesake dessert of deep-fried wheat flour batter slicked in a sticky, rose-flavoured syrup. Jalebi <\/em>is instantly recognisable for its bright orange or yellow hue and spiral shape, which symbolises continuity and is thus considered auspicious.<\/p>

GULAB JAMUN<\/strong><\/p>

These spongy, deep-fried dough balls composed of milk solids are soaked in a cloying syrup redolent of cardamom and rose water, and sprinkled with chopped nuts such as pistachios and almonds. Served warm, it is an indulgence enjoyed during special occasions.

RAS MALAI<\/strong><\/p>

Ras malai <\/em>is a dessert of creamy cottage cheese dumplings steeped in a fragrant, sweet milk and garnished with slivers of pistachios or almonds. The pale, cardamom-flavoured discs symbolise purity and auspicious beginnings, thus making it an apt Deepavali sweet. There are competing accounts of its origins. Some contend that it is derivative of a Bangladeshi dessert called kheer bhog<\/em>, while the great-grandson of famous Kolkata sweet shop KC Das\u2019 founder claims to have invented it as part of an experiment while working as a research assistant. What many can agree on though, is the irresistible quality of the luscious, velvety concoction.<\/p>

PALKOVA<\/strong><\/p>

Rooted in India\u2019s Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh regions, palkova<\/em> is a portmanteau of the Tamil words paal <\/em>(milk) and kova <\/em>(a thickened milk sweet). It is prepared by heating milk till it reduces to a semi-solid, fudge-like consistency. Like many traditional Indian sweets, it represents prosperity and positivity and is consumed during religious festivals and occasions. In Tamil Nadu\u2019s temple town of Srivilliputhur \u2014 where shops ply the sweetened, curdled, dessert \u2014 the Srivilliputhur Co-operative Primary Milk Producers Society is said to churn up to 3,000 litres of milk a day to make paklova<\/em> during the festive or pilgrimage seasons.<\/p>

PANI PURI<\/strong><\/p>

According to a report by Indian daily The Hindu<\/em>, Google India charted a 10 per cent spike in searches for pani puri<\/em> recipes during the country\u2019s COVID-19 lockdown in 2020. That\u2019s an indication of the snack\u2019s appeal. Best described as miniature puri <\/em>(deep-fried bread), the round, hollow puffs are filled with a moreish mixture of ingredients such as mashed potato or chickpeas, mushy peas and finely chopped onions, before being dunked in a tangy cold sauce (pani<\/em>) of tamarind, cumin and spicy green chutney. They are consumed in one bite, to best appreciate the medley of vibrant flavours. Pani puri<\/em> is eaten year-round but Deepavali is the perfect time to enjoy it with family and friends.<\/p>

MURUKKU<\/strong><\/p>

Made from a semi-solid dough of rice flour, urad dal (black gram lentils) and a blend of spices that\u2019s kneaded, piped and pressed into various patterns before being deep-fried, murukku<\/em> is a popular South Indian snack consumed during special occasions such as Deepavali. Its name is roughly translated as \u2018to twist\u2019 in Tamil, which explains the spiral shape of many murukku<\/em> variants. Manapparai, a small town in India, is so famous for its murukku-making tradition that the Tamil Nadu government even applied for the town to have a geographical indication tag, which associates a region with a food product.<\/p>

Kolam<\/strong>:<\/span> These vibrant and intricate floor decorations are created using coloured rice flour, chalk or flower petals. Their geometric designs \u2014 typically brought to life by family and community members \u2014 are meant to welcome guests, dispel negativity, and invoke blessings from the divine.<\/p>

Diyas<\/strong>:<\/span> The lighting of oil lamps, also known as diyas<\/em>, symbolises the victory of light over darkness. Rows of oil lamps and colourful electric lights adorn homes and temples during Deepavali, their warm, inviting glow lending a magical quality to the celebration.<\/p>
