Ganesh Chaturthi Special: 6 Modak Recipes On Aamhi Saare Khavayye To Try When You Bring Bappa Home

Ganesh Chaturthi is just around the corner and the country is all set to welcome Bappa home. Within a week, everyone’s houses will be filled with festive vibes, glittery decoration, and mouth-watering food. Ganesh Chaturthi is a grand affair indeed and we’re sure you are also planning to prepare some delicacies to ring in the festive season. While you might be busy thinking about what to make, there’s something you just can’t miss during Ganesh Chaturthi and that is the traditional modak. Considered to be Lord Ganesh’s favourite food (and ours too!), these dumplings are typically made with jaggery and grated coconut. But if you’re looking to experiment with something new this year, you’re certainly at the right place! Here are six different types of modaks on Aamhi Saare Khavayye you can try when you bring Bappa home.

1. Strawberry Modak

These strawberry modak are made with strawberry pulp which is used as a mixture instead of the grated coconut used normally. When mixed with dry fruits and cardamom powder, the modak is even more tempting to taste. It’s a perfect dish for all those who want to eat something sugar-free during the festival. So, when are you planning to make them for yourselves?
