This Ganesh Chaturthi, I have tried so many variations of modak from traditional to modern choco lava modak. Ganesh Chaturthi is one of the important Hindu Festivals celebratde throughout India with great pomp and fare. This day is celebrated as the birth of Lord ganesha.
On ganesh Festival the prasad or naivedya is offered to Lord Ganesha first and then distributed between the family and friends, the feast consists of many varities of savories and sweet dishes, but modak is a must in the menu as it is Ganapati Bappa's favourite sweet.
I had made 2-3 types of fried modak, then mawa modak, but I wanted to try something new and innovative to offer our Ganapati Bappa, so made a very modern version of his favourites modak, choco lava modak. I have seen so many recipes on you tube and very keen to try it this year. Made some changes as in original recipe there are oreo cookies used for the outer covering. Here for my recipe I used Marie Digestive biscuits. This is an instant and no cook recipe. These tempting modaks oozing out choco lava are ready in no time. Not only your bappa but your family and friends would enjoy them, specially kids would gaga over these. The main reason I tried these choco lava modak is that my younger daughter is not much fond of regular Ukadiche Modak, so tried few versions according to her choice.
