The festival of Ganesh Chaturthi is just around the corner and the excitement is already running high. Ganesh Chaturthi is a festival that fills the air with joy and the aroma of delectable sweets. It usually spans ten days, during which people decorate their homes and public spaces with colourful decorations and intricate clay idols of Lord Ganesha. It's a time for prayers, music, dance, and most importantly, indulging in delicious sweets, with modaks stealing the show.
Modaks: The Beloved Treat Of Lord Ganesha
The sight of modaks being served everywhere, even in our homes, makes the festival even more special. It is said that these sweet dumplings are Lord Ganesha's favourite treat, making them an integral part of the festivities. Traditionally, modaks are made with rice flour dough and filled with a mixture of jaggery and coconut. Some even use a mixture of khoya or mawa and coconut. They are then steamed or fried to perfection. Apart from the traditional modaks, there are many variations that you can try, which will brighten up the festivities even more. This is where MILKMAID steps in to help us keep up the festive fervour.
This creamy, condensed milk is not just a time-saver but also adds a rich and luscious flavour to your modaks and other festive treats. Plus, it's incredibly versatile, allowing you to experiment with a variety of mithais, desserts, cakes, puddings and more.
To add to the fun, MILKMAID has curated some innovative modak recipes to bring great flavours and colours to your feast. MILKMAID joined hands with Chef Ranveer Brar to bring you simple and indulgent modak recipes, that too with the twist of experimental flavours which are sure to be a hit among your loved ones. The chef let us in on a secret - mawa and khoya can easily be replaced with MILKMAID to get the perfect taste and binding in recipes. The best part? It saves a lot of time and these modaks are ready in just 10 minutes! We have every reason to make MILKMAID an indispensable part of our Ganesh Chaturthi festivities and create these special modak recipes.
