Ganpati Bappa has arrived, and how. Devotees are overjoyed and busy making delicious food for their friend and confidant, Lord Ganesha. While you are busy preparing savouries, don’t forget to offer him these six modak varieties.
Made with maida stuffed with coconut-jaggery, this variety of modak boasts a crispy crust. Every bite is a treat.
This variety is usually made with rice flour stuffed with coconut and jaggery. It is a steamed variant that is believed to be among the favourites of Bappa.
As the name suggests, this sweet is made with dry fruits like cashews, dates, figs, almonds, and pistachios. It is rich and fulfilling.
You might frown upon this modern variant, but kids love sharing this one with Lord Ganesha. Not to mention the ultimate combo of nuts and chocolate.
Made of khoya or mawa, this variety of moda is creamy and rich in taste. It has the freshness from cardamom and a subtle orange hue from saffron.
This is a traditional variant boasting a sweet aroma and flavour of coconut. It has a soft texture because of the use of condensed milk.
