Drinks:
1. Mint Lassi
Starting this Diwali dinner menu with the simplest non-alcoholic beverage, Mint Lassi. It is healthy, extremely refreshing and a great start to the meal. It is prepared with ingredients already available at home like curd, cumin seeds, mint leaves, and salt. Adding mint leaves to your desi lassi can give a kick to it and make you drink every little drop of it.
2. Jamun Bramble Cocktail
We are not going to go out of Indian taste and cuisine. We Indians are enough creative to inculcate jamun with alcohol and call it jamun cocktail or give it a fancy name as Jamuntini. Jamun or Java Plum is a popular fruit grown in India; it is sweet and juicy with a distinct aftertaste. It becomes lip-smacking good when paired with vodka!

6. Veg Korean Fried Rice
Kimchi is a hit with everyone since the influence of Korea has taken over with its unique food, culture and not to mention TV shows and music bands.

Dessert
7. Ras Malai
Nothing can beat a good Ras Malai as the sweet dish is always welcome! This extremely cushy dessert is perfect to end this Diwali menu.
