Traditional aam papad is sweet although it is available in different varieties.Growing up us siblings will never forget the customary Diwali rounds to the homes of all our extended family. 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? But our parents were of different opinion we were often met with a don't embarrass us' look that only we knew existed- a memory that sends the whole family into a fit of laughter even to this day!
