Vegan Diwali Recipes To Celebrate The Victory Of Light

Celebrate with Vegan Diwali Recipes the festival of light.

Here are some Sweet Vegan Diwali Recipes from our Indian friends. “Diwali” is a short form of “Deepawali” Diwali is widely celebrated in different parts of India. But one thing is always the same: the victory of the good over the evil or the light over the darkness is celebrated and it is about recognizing one’s inner strength. And an essential element of Diwali is the lights.

Traditionally, new lamps are bought at Diwali, and the old ones are thrown away. Because, according to tradition, new lamps will help the souls of the dead find their way to nirvana.

As soon as it gets dark, you can see the decorated windows of the houses with small oil lamps everywhere. Today also with electric light chains. One also hangs lamps in trees or places candles on the roofs. In inhabited areas, you can see the many lights from far away. They are to show the spirits of the deceased the way to the land of bliss.

Diwali is a happy celebration and similar to the Christmas holiday. The children receive presents, they get their best dresses. Also, they send each other Diwali cards, visit friends and relatives, enjoy delicious food, and especially lots of sweets. See below some Vegan Diwali Recipes and join the celebration for the victory of light.

Cashew Masala Milk (Vegan, Paleo, Refined Sugar-free)

Masala Milk is a traditional Indian drink made using milk blended with nuts, spices and flavors. I am not sure which part of India this drink originated from.  In Maharashtra, during Kojagiri Poornima, it is a ritual to serve Masala doodh (Milk) after watching the full bright moon.

Happy Diwali!: Chocolate Nut Burfi (Vegan, Sugar free)

The traditional Diwali sweets mostly all require dairy and tons of sugar. Oh boy! This past year has been one where I have spent tons of hours doing research on what constitutes a healthy diet.
