While the religious aspect is privately celebrated with close family members at the home altar or temple and usually completed by mid-morning , the social revelry kicks in with much merry making with friends and family of all races coming over to a Deepavali open house or ‘rumah terbuka’ lasting till late night. Most of the delicacies served to guests during Deepavali are a harmonious blend of Malaysia, there would be Northern Indian sweets such as barfi , ladoo and gulab jammun.South indian curries such as chicken curry and mutton perratal(mutton cooked with spices in a dried version) and even chicken rendang .There are cakes and cookies ,and of course no home will be without dosa / thosai or briyani to complete the menu.
