Wish to get into Lord Ganesha’s good books? Look no further. The Amrit Modak is inarguably his favourite food! Widely made during Ganesh Utsav, this delicious sweet treat is made using mawa, sugar and kesar.

The tinge of saffron is quite noticeable and hence this is also called the Kesar Modak. Apart from the luxuriant flavour and melt-in-the-mouth texture, another striking feature of these modaks is the crunchy pistachio stuffing, which packs a punch of excitement into each bite!

Much loved by young and old alike, the Amrit Modak is a good addition to any festive menu, not just Ganesh Utsav. Give it a try right away, because every day brings with it a new reason to celebrate life.

Also do try other Indian sweets using mawa like Mawa Kachori, Mawa Peda, Coconut Barfi or Mawa Kesar Roll.
