 This Indian New Year festival of food, fireworks and gold is centred on The Golden Mile, the new name for Belgrave Road because of the many jewellery shops that jostle cheek by jowl with the sweet shops. It is a celebration of prayer for future health and prosperity.

This year sees the first official Diwali Day in Leicester. The city council is attempting to turn the event into a Hindu version of the Notting Hill Carnival.

It has arranged a two-week build-up from the switching on of the lights last Sunday to a jamboree this Friday evening when the city is expecting thousands of revellers to gorge themselves on vegetarian curries and lassi yoghurt drinks.

It is the night before, however, on the Thursday evening, when Diwali is actually celebrated by Hindu and Sikh families and friends who visit each other and exchange presents.

Before those pleasantries begin and the wrapping paper is torn off, the guests are traditionally offered a sweet - a pat of clarified butter (ghee), caster sugar and evaporated milk, in a "Delhi belly" glucose rush rather than a Quality Street moment.

Zaheer Musani, who describes his shop as "the Thornton's of Indian sweets", is the manager of Royal Traditional Indian Sweets - there is a Royal shop in most Little Indias across Britain. It sells a standard range of the most popular Diwali delicacies from barfi, the dairy fudge of the sub-continent, to halwa, the Mr Kipling cake of India. Both come in a rich variety of flavours from carrot to coconut.

The top of the Royal range, for example, is a fig, almond and pistachio halwa at £9 a kilogram. Both halwa and barfi are bought loose, usually at around £5 a kilogram, and sold neatly packaged up in old-fashioned, coloured chocolate boxes.

There is also papri (flour mixed in dough and fried), pendas (a mix of sugar, milk powder and almonds) and my favourite, jallebi, a deep-fried, bright-orange syrup fritter that looks like a Catherine wheel belonging to Hare Krishna.

When the sweet shops are not plying their saccharine delights (and the sweets are eaten only on high days, holidays and some weekends), they do a brisk trade in Bombay mix. At Khabi Khabi's sweet mart, for example, there is a rack of six stainless-steel cylinders the size of large oxygen canisters behind the counter containing different varieties and strengths of the bright-yellow nibbles.

Already awash with ghee and cumin, we stop at an Indian restaurant for lunch. It is, I hope, going to be the spicy cake on the sweet cream. The Mumbai Blues, in the middle of the Golden Mile, is not, however, the unrivalled, Tandoori-style River Cafe that I expected - it is a pub. The electric sitar and amplified tabla thunder from the pipes, and a slogan on the painted beam over the bar reads, "A day without beer is a day without sunshine". There are chilli wings and samosas on the menu, and draught lagers, bitter and Guinness at the bar. The most popular dish, according to the owner, is a chicken tikka sizzler - a favourite with the young Indian crowd who hang out there.

Part of a mystical past: traditional sweets, left, and Lakshmi, goddess of wealth, right

According to Bhanu Mistry, my Gujarati guide, the young Anglo-Indians are no longer interested in the traditional curry houses. And nor are they over-keen on the sweets of their forefathers, she says, adding that she has two sons to prove it.

In fact, it is unlikely that the Belgrave Street sweet shops will survive more than another generation. The barfi and jallebis will go the way of Spangles and humbugs. The Indian sweet shops, like the English corner shops before them, will be no more than a fond memory of a mystical past.

Jayshree Kalyani's Badam halwa

8oz/225g almonds

A cup of water

1 lb/450g sugar

A few strands of saffron

6-8oz/170-225g ghee

2 tsp milk (to soak the saffron)

Soak the almonds in cold water the night before cooking. Blanch and peel them and blend with a little water into a thick paste. Add this to the sugar and cook the mix in a thick-bottomed vessel on a medium flame. Stir continuously, adding the soaked saffron to give the paste colour and flavour.

After stirring well for five minutes, slowly add the ghee a teaspoonful at a time. After about 15 minutes (when the mix leaves the sides of the pan), the halwa is ready.

Transfer it to a greased plate or into a container, and let it cool. This halwa tastes good for 10-15 days.

Hema Archarya's Coconut barfi

10oz/285g icing sugar

8 floz/200ml condensed milk

7oz/200g dessicated coconut

Mix together the icing sugar and the condensed milk until smooth. Stir in the coconut. Let this mixture set in a slightly greased tray. Cut the coconut block into small pieces and serve these as a treat at teatime.
