Ganesh Chaturthi is a vibrant festival celebrated across India, honouring Lord Ganesha with various traditional foods. Here are five must-try dishes to enhance your festivities:

Modak

Modaks are steamed dumplings filled with a sweet mixture of coconut, jaggery and cardamom. Their delicate flavour and soft texture make them a festive favourite.

Puran Poli

This is a sweet flatbread stuffed with chana dal ( chickpeas) and jaggery, flavoured with cardamom.

Kachori

These are spicy, deep-fried pastries stuffed with a savoury filling of spiced lentils or peas. They are crispy on the outside and bursting with flavour inside, perfect for snacking.

Sabudana Khichdi

This dish is made from sago pearls sauteed with peanuts, potatoes and spices. It’s a savoury, slightly tangy and satisfying option that’s often enjoyed during fasting periods.

Rawa Ladoo

These are sweet, crumbly balls made from semolina (rava), ghee, and sugar, flavoured with cardamom and nuts. They are easy to make and are a delightful treat to enjoy during the festival.
