Let us talk Diwali. it calls for some sweets & snacks. I browsed an you tube video named "Kolkata style goja" by one Piyali and also Master Chef SanjeevKapoor's before trying my version of Goja Nimki
For us Tam Brams, Diwali starts with the "Ganga Snanam". Another tradition is to distribute sweets, bhakshanams (savory snacks) and gifts to friends and relatives
