EFM - Sweets and Savories for Diwali Series!


Halo Friends!!!!

I am really thankful to all the blogger who participated in the EFM - Parathas and Gravies / Curries  Series and made it successful! I  received number of delicious entries for Parathas and Gravies / Curries  Series  for which the ROUND UP is HERE!

Now its time to announce the theme for this month . Theme for EFM (Event for the Month) for the month of April - May  is  "SWEETS AND SAVORIES FOR DIWALI".  

History of Diwali: Diwali is the joyous celebration of the triumph of good over evil. It is the popular belief that the fireworks that add splendor to the festivities actually reduces the evil to ashes. The uniqueness of Diwali is that it harmonizes five varied philosophies, with each day assigned to commemorate a special thought or idea. According to a legend, which is also taken to be a history of diwali, the world celebrates Deepavali as the day the goddess stopped dancing after her battle with Mahishasura.The festival begins with Dhanteras, which is the celebration of the birth of goddess Lakshmi from the bottomless ocean. The second day is "Narak Chaturdhashi", which commemmorates the felling of Narakasura by Satyabhama with the help of Indra. This is again another view of history of diwali. Some also believe that the second day is dedicated to Bali the generous king, who returns to his kingdom amidst celebrations. The most famous legend behind the celebrations of diwali is about the prince of Ayodhya, Lord Shri Ram Chandra, his defeating Ravana and his return from exile by lighting lamps on this darkest night of the year. Source is from Here.

We all people enjoy diwali a lot, wherever we are, starting from purchasing dresses, crackers, greeting cards, and so on. We all start to prepare sweets and savories for Diwali a week before diwali itself and there remains true happiness too. So what kind of sweets and savories (traditional and modern) you prepare for diwali? Just list it out and send the recipes to us....

Its not necessary for the participants to send sweets and savory as a combo. You can send sweets entries alone or you can send savory entries alone or else you can send both sweets and savory too, if you can!

So, come out with all your SWEETS  Recipes and SAVORY Recipes and am awaiting eagerly for all your entries.

Event for the Month of September and the Theme is Chicken

I thank all my blogger friends first of all, who wished for my son Amiitesh's birthday and he enjoyed a lot on that day with all my relatives and particularly during the function time. Amiitesh got up by 5.15am itself on that day and went to bed only by 11pm and he don't want to miss to play with his grand parents and uncles. He was very eager to cut the cake from the time we received it from the bakery. He looked so smart on that day and we had a blast of happiness. He was more eager to see the gift packs he received for his birthday and started playing with them immediately as soon as we unpack the gifts. And thank you all again who showered my son with their blessings.

So, come out with all your chicken recipes and am awaiting eagerly for your spicy entries. Last month during Ice Creams and Milkshakes Event, i
