Bring serving trays to give Diwali sweets the spotlight they deserve
A tray of sweets can look ordinary or unforgettable, and the difference often has little to do with the sweets themselves. Picture the kaju katli lined up in neat diamonds, the laddoos stacked in a gentle pyramid, the barfi cut into clean squares. Diwali kitchens work for days to get these right, yet the moment of serving lasts only a few minutes. A good tray frames that moment. It gives the sweets a border, lifts them into view, and makes guests pause before reaching out. Even a simple plate of mithai starts to feel like a small celebration.
