Churma Modak (Non Fried)

Ganesh Chaturthi is one of the most famous festivals in most of the states of India. This festival is in-complete without offering special modak/ ladoo prasad to the lord. Modak is prepared in different styles and ingredients in different places. In this recipe, I made it in Rajasthani and Gujarati style with churma (crumbled roti/ flat bread).

Do try this recipe on the auspicious occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi at your home and recommend it to your friends and family, if you like it.
