A Dispatch From Our Diwali Party in London

"Food is a huge part of Diwali celebrations – so naturally, Condé Nast Traveller brought in the best-of-the-best to feed guests. Chet Sharma of Michelin-starred Indian restaurant Bibi created an innovative and lavish spread that even included a crushed ice maker for traditional golas. Canapés like truffle and mooli Dokhla, chicken momos, and lamb seekh kebab circulated. Bowls of buffalo milk paneer, Sharmaji’s lahori chicken, and ex-dairy goat kebab followed, while saffron and lemon soft serve and kulfi with Pondicherry chocolate mousse cake and rum-soaked raisins rounded off the evening."
