With Ganesh Chaturthi around the corner, everyone must be busy thinking about one of the best parts of this festival - Modaks :).
We are back on KZbin after some time off, and we are back with a bang; as we are going to make a delicious traditional recipe of a Modak cake!
It is easy to prepare, and you can even make it with the basics of your kitchen. It invokes some nostalgic memories of Ukdiche Modak, which is a huge part of the Ganpati festival. I've made it using vanilla sponge cakes with whipped cream and added the traditional coconut 'saran' (filling) to lend it a fusion flavour.
For a bit more authenticity, I've also prepared a small 'Undir Mama' made entirely out of fondant. Also the whole preparation is adorned with a hibiscus flower to complete the look :)
Hope you enjoy this recipe and happy holidays!
Ganpati Bappa Morya!
