Celebrating bappa festival brings joy and happiness in our lives and devotees make many kinds of prasads for bappa. This prasad is one of the type I learnt from one of my mom. Originally, it was ladoo (the one my mom used to make) but I infused a little of my fusion into it and turned it into modak.
