Its Ganesh Chaturthi next week. On this day, many Indian families bring a Ganesh idol in their homes. They decorate the place with flowers. They keep the idol in their homes for 2 or 3 or 5 or 7 or 11 days. It varies from family to family. Everyday they do a pooja of the Ganesh idol. They offer desserts like modak while doing the pooja everyday. Later they immerse the idol in water on the Visarjan Day.
Today I am sharing a unique way of making modak. Its made from almonds. They are super tasty. & also healthy since they are made from almonds. Our Ganpati Bappa will also love it ;-)

Method:
