Chocolate Tapioca Pudding
Next week is Diwali, the festival of lights followed by the dawning of a New Year Indians celebrate around the world. When it comes to Diwali, one can never have enough sweets. Sweets like varieties of nut and milk fudge, puddings and halwas are tripled in production in sweet shops throughout the country and most folks mark the day by presenting their loved ones, neighbors or workmates with some sort of Diwali sweets. The day is remembered as the moment when beloved Prince Rama triumphantly returned to the city of Ayodhya, India after being banished to a remote forest for 14 years. It’s another reason to celebrate the triumph of light over darkness and joy over misery. The day was joyously celebrated with the entire town being lit by candles and excited exchanging of sweets, warmth and love.
You don’t have to be from India to celebrate Diwali. Make this super easy tapioca pudding and invite a friend or a neighbor over to celebrate Diwali with you. Ask your friends from India as to how they celebrate Diwali, as it is done very differently around the country. Or, have a Diwali block party and share sweets with anyone and everyone around you. Or take it over to a neighbor and spread the cheer…
