Diwali is just around the corner, and as you gear up for the festivities,
I’ve put together a special series, ‘Diwali Soirée’, to make your celebrations even more memorable.
First up, a true crowd-pleaser: 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐟 𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐭 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐫.
Best enjoyed with spirits and concoctions, this dish is a delightful change from the usual salted store-bought peanuts.
The simple yet most delicious small plate is always the star of gatherings and makes for a perfect 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘬𝘩𝘯𝘢.
Treat your guests to unique and delightful recipes, and stay tuned for more festive flavours that’ll elevate your celebrations!
