We would be dressed to the nines in Indian finery and nervously making shy guesses about who is who when quizzed by half-familiar adults of the family. The one thing we would actually look forward to were the yummy Indian sweets; especially the unique dry fruit and nut recipes waiting to be devoured by us. Hey who can after all make a pass on perfectly roasted badam laced in the finest honey and jaggery?
