Ganpati Bappa Morya!!
Ganesh Chaturthi is here again. Celebrate this special occasion with Ganesha's favorite modak. Made Chocolate coconut modak this time. Although it is quite a grand affair, the good news is that it is much easier to make than the traditional modak, which requires a bit of deft handwork. This modak on the other hand requires you to pack the mixture into the modak mould, and de-mould after a press.
