Diwali ushers light, laughter and love into our otherwise nine-to-five monochrome lives. And the endless flow of sweet dishes all around makes the happiness double. However, the tradition of catching up with our friends and family is now long-gone as most of our close ones choose to preside not only in various parts of our country, but in different corners of the world. Not only do we miss them but also miss their signature dishes. And as a result, we keep on asking for their signature dishes’ recipes all the time.
If you are yet to figure out the culinary talent within you, but don't want to miss out the opportunity to be missed like this because of your culinary legacy (or the lack of it, thereof), do not get worked up as it is never too late and you can start with the unique recipes that taste yumm, but are not too complicated when it comes to the process of preparation.
And, when you master them, you can go on to play with the ingredients to add your personal touch to the dishes. But, in order to master a dish you need to go through a long process of trial and error. To help you out, here are some easy-breezy recipes trending year to make your friends and family go crazy.
