With the arrival of Diwali (Diwali 2025), the aroma of sweets and delicacies fills every home. Sweets like laddus, barfis, jalebis, and balushahi have their own delights, but do you want to try something different and new this Diwali?

If so, you're in the right place! To make this Diwali memorable, we'll tell you about five delicious and unique dishes that will not only delight your guests but are also healthy. Let's learn about them.

Sugar-Free Dark Chocolate and Nut Bark
Dark chocolate is rich in antioxidants, and nuts are a powerhouse of protein. It's incredibly easy to make. Simply melt dark chocolate in a double boiler and add finely chopped almonds, walnuts, and cashews. Spread this mixture on a flat tray and let it cool. Once it sets, break it into pieces. This crunchy and rich dish will be loved by everyone, from children to adults.

Shakar Potato Shahi Halwa
Seasonal vegetables are rarely used in sweets. This time, go beyond simple semolina halwa and make sweet potato halwa. Sweet potatoes are rich in vitamin A and fiber. Mash boiled sweet potatoes and cook them with milk and jaggery. Add cardamom powder and a little saffron to give it a royal texture. Garnish with almond and pistachio slices. Its natural sweetness and creamy texture will be loved by everyone.

Coconut and Rosewater Laddoo
If you love laddus but are bored with flour and gram flour laddus? This recipe is for you. Mix freshly grated coconut, a little condensed milk, rosewater, and raisins together and cook them lightly. Once cooled, make small laddus. The aroma of rosewater and the texture of coconut make this a wonderful combination. This laddu is made without frying, making it light and easy to digest.

Aamchur and Mustard Salty Mix
Not only sweets but also salty dishes have their own charm on Diwali. This time, instead of plain chivda or mathri, try something spicy and tangy. Temper roasted chana dal, peanuts, puffed rice, and salted sev with mango powder, black salt, and a little mustard oil. The combination of the tanginess of mango powder and the flavor of mustard makes it unique and delicious.

Kiwi and Mint Coolers
Guests need something refreshing along with sweets and snacks. This non-alcoholic mocktail will complete your Diwali party menu. Make a refreshing drink by mixing fresh kiwi pulp, mint leaves, a little lemon juice, and cold soda. Serve it chilled.
