The most awaited Hindu festival of the elephant headed Lord Ganesha has arrived! Lord Ganesha is cute and adorable and best part I love about him is that he is a big foodie. So Ganesh Utsav is a time for feasting as all his favorite dishes are cooked and offered to the deity before consuming them as prasad. The offerings of Lord Ganesha are incomplete without modak. Today we have a dry fruit modak recipe that’s made from just 3 ingredients – dates, almonds and desiccated coconut – super tasty and super healthy! The best part – no cooking required!
