Diwali is the festival of lights. Away from my country I still manage to create the diwali ambience inside my home. Every year I decorate my house with lanterns. I enjoy making lanterns. I make them in dozens to hang them all around the house. I put lights and a big "aakshkandil" in the patio. And of course diwali can never be complete without the sweet and spicy home made snacks . They are made in all Marathi homes worldwide. Nothing can beat the fresh yummy home made "faral". Like always this year too I made ladoos, shankarpali, karanji, chivada and chakali. The difference this year was that I packaged it with some creativity. I got the dollar store silver containers. I used cupcake liners to place individual items. Then placed these inside the container. I covered the container with cling wrap. I used homemade gift tag in the shape of a "panati ". I made it using a card stock paper I had at hand. I had fun giving the faral package alongwith a aakshkandil to my neighbours and friends. I also received a nice surprise gift with the faral from one of my friends.
Should I just say diwali gift hamper? Share your ideas to package faral next year. Until then wishing you all happy new year. Welcome 2016.
