#GC - Red Dragon Fruit Sooji Modak is a new vibrant twist to the classic modak. It is incredibly easy to dish out. As preparing Modak during Ganesh Chaturthi is mandatory, so go ahead and make these amazing and colorful sweet dumplings. I flavored it with cardamom powder. You may add saffron or rose water if you wish. So please Lord Ganesh by offering these modak this festive season.
