Sitar of India hosts a Diwali celebration each year. Diwali is a Hindu festival of lights, held in the period October to November. It is particularly associated with Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity, and marks the beginning of the fiscal year in India. Sitar celebrates with their biggest Indian buffet of the year. It included special sweets, a super buffet with over 60 items, and other special offerings. There were many items that were familiar to me, but then there were many that were new to me. I, of course, had to get my standard chicken tikka masala. And I tried for the first time aloo bhaji, which is a potato dish with curry, turmeric and chili. So tasty. For dessert, I enjoyed some kheer and gulab jamun - both fab. There was also a sweet carrot fudge-like that I got seconds of. Mint sauce and onion chutney - perfect on everything.
