5 Easy Dessert Recipes You Must Try At Home For Bhai Dooj

The big festival of Diwali went as quickly as it came. The never-ending meetings and greetings with family and friends became the way of life for the whole festive season. All those feeling low-spirited with all the Diwali revelry ending, know it's not over yet. In fact, it's time to gear up for the joyous festival of Bhai Dooj that is always celebrated two days after Diwali, and this year it falls on October 23. Bhai Dooj celebrates the love-filled relationship between brothers and sisters. On this day, sisters apply tilak (vermillion) on their brothers' foreheads and pray for their well-being; and brothers vow to be always there to protect their sisters. Just like Diwali and all other festivals, the rituals end on a sweet note with the whole family gorging on sweet dishes. 

Although there is no dearth of sweets available in the local sweet shops around us, especially with Diwali just gone by, there are many people who want to make this festival more special by preparing sweets at home for their siblings or children. Not just local shops, but you can also find multiple lip-smacking desserts on your favourite food delivery app.  But, if you are someone who wants to offer homemade sweets to the family but doesn't have much time on hand, we can help you by dishing out some fantastic recipes of desserts that can be easily made at home and are not too time-consuming.
