The Festival of Ganesh Chathurti is celebrated all across India and abroad.

It is Believed that Lord Ganesha 'The SUKHAKARTA and DUKHAHARTAH' as we call him enters our bones bringing, joy, health and wealth with him and goes back on the 10th day by invading all our sorrows and problems.

We all serve him with his favourite food like modaks, ladoos and lots of food to make him happy along with Vratas, hymns and prayers.

This is my family favourite because it's very delicate, mildly sweet and tastes like a piece of heaven. It's so very easy to prepare that within 10 minutes your prasad will be ready if you have been busy, but it looks like you were spending hours in your kitchen to make these.

I am using a modak mould here, but you can prepare without mould too.
