This festival also meant for special foods, sweets and desserts! Almost in every household some sweets are made for family, guests and relatives. In this Diwali, I made this special GULAB JAMUN. It is also called Kala Jamun, Pantua etc.
Make it following my recipe (see Video at bottom) and get the festival taste!
