There was a Ganpati celebration at my friends place. I had made these assorted mawa modak for Lord Ganesha. When the aarti was done, my friend offered these modaks to everyone else. You wont believe how hit these modaks were ! Every kid was later searching for these cute little modaks. But they were finished in a blink of an eye. Everyone just loved them even the adults. I was hearing my name from every corner of the house that my modaks were a huge hit. Superb looking & Super tasty as well.
