#Modak
Modak is very popular festive dish in India specially in Maharashtra. Generally Modaks are offered during Ganapati festival. Traditionally Modaks are made with rice flour and coconut filling. But now a days different varieties of Modaks are being popular among people. So I made this special Red velvet Modak with red velvet cake and cream cheese filling. It's really very easy and scrumptious Modaks.
