Homemade modaks much in demand

Homemade modaks much in demand


Ganesh Chaturthi involves a variety of celebrations every year. People welcome Bappa at their place and worship him and later immerse with pride and happiness.
Adding an extra joy to the celebration, people try to bring in delicacies for the lord.
Lord Ganesha can never resist his favorite delicacy on the special occasion and the devotees too are eager to consume mouth watering Modak.
Varitey of such modaks are available at shops, temples and small outlets but a homemade modak will definitely stand out for the occasion.
Anyone interested in cooking can easily make the delicacy within no time and serve it to their dear ones.
Apurva Phasalkar, a resident of Kopar Khairane sector 6 has been making modaks at home for her family and friends for years and it has been appreciated much.
Says Apurva, “No doubt today due to commercialization, everything is available in market on a readymade basis but I still feel that people should opt for homemade items. It is healthy as well as good in taste.”
Says Apurva, “I prepare modak every year for my family and they now don’t like the ones which we get from the shops.
“I wish each one of us, especially homemakers, can try this at out homes and have a healthy celebration.”
Apurva‘s special modak is made with coconut milk, dry coconut, fried modak and steamed modak.
On the special occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi she shares the recipe of homemade modak so that our readers can easily prepare it at home and serve to Lord Bappa and others.
