Diwali is India’s biggest and most important holiday.

The Festival of Lights is as important to Hindus as Christmas is to Christians. This year, Diwspanli fspanlls on Oct. 24, and there’s no better way for everyone to celebrate — regardless of religion — than enjoying some authentic, traditional Indian cuisine.

The Treasure Coast is home to five Indian restaurants: one in Vero Beach, two in Port St. Lucie and two in Stuart.

Some of the most common Indian dishes on local menus include samosas, curries, chana masala, butter chicken and chicken tikka masala — often served with naan bread. Indian restaurants typically feature a range of vegetarian dishes too.
