Paan and Rose trifle jars- easy to make yet incredibly delicious and so so pretty and colourful! It's the perfect festive dessert for Diwali and can be made in advance too. It's vibrant, decadent and bursting with the flavor of paan and rose!            I am so excited for Diwali, love the whole festive vibe around this time of the year. There's  just so much to do during Diwali and if you have to spend less time in the kitchen then nothing like it. This festive dessert comes together easily and literally in no time. All the ingredients are store-bought and it requires no cooking or baking and only effort required is to whip the cream.  After that it's just a matter of assembling the dessert together.

Minty gingered lemonade! Just what you need in this crazy crazy October heat and humidity and it also happens to be an amazing drink for Diwali meet and greet too. Fresh mint, ginger syrup and a touch of lemon juice! Its super-refreshing, delicious and so pretty. Back when I travelled to Hampi in 2017 with my 6 month old baby, I was obsessed with this drink called Lemon Nana which was served in pretty much all the cafes there. It was a fresh lemonade which was taken up a notch by adding pureed mint to make the drink even more amazing. Hampi is all about exploring the historical sites on foot and this drink used to really refresh and energize me when we would stop by at a café to take a break. So this lemonade is basically inspired from Lemon Nana and instead of regular sugar syrup, I have made ginger syrup here because I love adding ginger in my drinks, especially the citrus ones. Remember the Orange and ginger masala lemonade I shared last year? Well oranges are in season...
