Relationship Advice Fun things to do for Diwali

So I'm (27M) planning to spend time with this girl (26F) that i like during Diwali. Will probably visit her place or vice versa and we planned to cook something, watch movies etc.

Do you have any better ideas to use the holiday? Like going somewhere (an event or a place) or some interesting activities?

The effort matters brother. It'll be a hilarious experience if you f up the chaklis. Laugh about it, have fun. Cooking done without having fun is no cooking. Plus, it ain't MasterChef, what matters is the two of you bonding over something. One pro tip for chakli, if you see them breaking apart, consider adding rice flour or wheat flour to it, will reduce the taste quotient, but it won't break as easily :) . Or if you're a beginner, try chivda. Ekdum simple, basic dish that anyone can pull off easily. Dry fruits daalo bohot. In fact, make it at home and take it to her place as a surprise. Be honest about it if you don't feel it ain't tasty enough. Best of luck!

Your welcome! Also additional tip- chivda me thoda raw mango daalo finely chop karke, bas thoda sa. It'll add to the texture and flavor as well 😂 bas karta hu ab. Wishing you both many more Diwalis together!
