The days leading up to Deepavali are usually engulfed in a frenzy, with clothes to be bought, crowds to brave, and frantic plans to visit friends and family. Despite everything that’s going on, it’s hard to miss how the air all around just smells of ghee and sugar, laden with the promise of all that is to come as far as sweets and savouries go.
