PARLE-G BISCUIT MODAK

Hii friends, how is your celebrations going on??? Hope everyone is enjoying the Ganapati Festival. I have shared few recipe of modak before in my blog. Today sharing a new recipe which is very different from traditional ukadiche modak, fried modak or mawa modak. Hope you all like this recipe. Modak is considered as one of the most religious sweet offering to Lord Ganesha. This is mostly made during Ganapati Festival in India. So I think of sharing this recipe with you all. Today I am sharing modak with Parle-G biscuits…Yes you heard it right…!!! This is very simple, easy and quick recipe.  Kids must love this modak as they love chocolate flavour and yes the main ingredient of this recipe is Parle-G biscuits which are their all time favourite biscuits. It has got smooth and soft texture and just melts in your mouth. To make them more attractive I garnished them with some colourful sprinkles. Any special Indian occasion or festival is incomplete without offering to god. So try this version of modak for Naivedya or Prasad for this ongoing Ganapati Festival.  So here is the step-by-step recipe with pictures

INGREDIENTS:
100 gms Parle-G Biscuits/ 1 pack from the big packet
2 tablespoon Cocoa Powder [unsweetened]
¼ cup Powdered Sugar [adjust accordingly]
¼ Cup Chocolate Syrup or Chocolate Sauce [[see notes]
2-3 Drops Vanilla Essence
Colourful Sprinkles for Garnishing

METHOD:
STEP 1 – Take Parle-G biscuits and grind them to make a fine powder.
 STEP 2 – Now remove the powdered Parle-G biscuits in a bowl and add the rest of the ingredients in it.
STEP 3 – Mix it gently to form a soft and smooth dough.
STEP 4 – Now grease the modak mould and fill it with some Parle-G dough and press from the bottom to make modak.

STEP 5 – Repeat the same procedure and make modak with the rest of the dough.
STEP 6 – Garnish with the colourful sprinkles and serve Gananapati Bappa for naivedya.



NOTES: If you feel that above mentioned quantity of chocolate syrup is not enough to make modak, then add 1 tablespoon more.
