Diwali Must-haves

A lot of people think of ‘Mithai’ as a must-have for Diwali. But before we talk about desserts, there are three items which Asda recommend stocking up on. These three kitchen partners will ensure that all your essentials are in place for the delicious experiments, this festive season. Diwali must-have include, sunflower oil, basmati rice, and spices.

Rice is a perfect ingredient for one-pot wonders especially when you have large groups visiting you. So, be it your family recipe of Pilau or experimental stir-fries, a good basmati rice is a good ally during festivals.

Showstoppers

For your parties, there is one ingredient which is versatile, adaptable, and can help you to create a wonderful spread, effortlessly- yoghurt.

From chaats to marinades, from smoothies to healthy desserts, there is so much a tub of yoghurt can do. Here are three recipe ideas which you can try this year,

--Beetroot Yoghurt Salad

--Yoghurt panna cotta infused with cardamoms

--Spicy dahi papri chaat

Lancashire farm natural bio yoghurt is available at your local ASDA.

Get Set, Diwali

With so much focus on food and parties, let’s not forget how important the host and the house are during the festive period.

For added shine to your Diwali look, prep your hair with the Vatika hair regime from Asda and follow the oil, shampoo and mask regime for six weeks for well-nourished and amazing looking hair. Asda recommends the coconut range for those with dry and damaged hair.

The festival of lights would be incomplete without candles, lights and diyas. Add the perfect festive touch to your house and light up every corner with a pack of 100 GH White Tealights and set the mood for a bright and prosperous Diwali.

Last but not least. Here is a little help from ASDA on the cleaning front. Stock up on Dettol Antibacterial Spray to let it shine as bright as the light of the festivities.

Smart Cooking

’’With busy schedules and work commitments, it’s not easy for me to cook a big Diwali menu from scratch. I always look for ideas in the frozen range to make life a bit convenient for me’’, Vandna Singh, Casting Director, London.

If you have similar challenges, then this Diwali, Asda brings you a convenient way of cooking with their range of frozen snacks. The popular ones being, vegetable samosas and vegetable spring rolls from ASDA.

And if you still have appetite for more, keep a pack of gram flour on standby at all times for making simple snacks like Pakoras, Dhokla, Besan Halwa, Khandvi, and others.
