Victory of Light Had a little get-together today to celebrate Diwali with my Indian friends! As one of my friends explained, the festivity is all about the triumph of light over darkness. There were candles lit by the windowsill. We agreed on a potluck and these were what we had. There’s chicken biryani, vegetable biryani, mushroom curry, fish fry, chickpeas, and lentil samosas (not in the photo). I liked everything! Guess what I brought? It’s easy to guess from the photo. Of course, I do not know how to cook Indian food. Lol! Since most of them were vegetarians, I wanted to make something that everyone can eat. So I brought the pasta. It was a pretty simple recipe, which only involved spaghetti pasta, garlic, butter, chili flakes, soy sauce, a little sugar, and Parmesan cheese. The original recipe called for oyster sauce but some of them probably don’t eat that so I just left it out. I personally appreciate getting to experience different cultures of the world. I have deep respect for every country’s culture and I hope these get preserved despite the changing times. #Diwali #nofilter #food #originalphoto #originalcontent #katsphotography #Photography

Ah kaya pala puro kandila ang nakikita ko sa mga diwali posters. Light over darkness pala ang story nyan. Yang biryani namention ng indian friend ko yan. Kumain daw sya nun nung birthday nya. Pala kain din sila ng rice eh. Sherep din naman yung pasta mo hihi. At yung dessert ang lagkit ng tingin ko haha. Basta sweets talaga gigil ako haha.
Ahaha! Oo, masarap nga. Siguro nung mas bata pa ako, di ko maaappreciate pero habang nagmamature, nagiging mas open din taste buds ko sa ibang lasa. :)
Its rare, its my first time to see menus like that. Hope to taste it too. It looks yummy.
