Ganesh Chaturthi 2023: Sweet Dish Items
Here are some special Ganesh Chaturthi 2023 food recipes you must try. The sweet dish recipes are not only tasty but also healthy so everyone in your family can enjoy them.
Ragi Modak
We usually make modaks with rice flour and stuff coconut, jaggery and dry fruits in the shells. Ragi Modak is made in the same process but the ingredients are different.
Use ragi flour to make the shell and stuff it with jaggery and coconut. Make the dish healthy by using ragi instead of rice flour. You can also add dry fruits and steam the Ragi Modak until it is properly cooked.
Gur Mewa Laddoo
We all love laddoos and we know that it is Lord Ganesha's favourite food item.
To make Gur Mewa Laddoo at home, you have to use jaggery, mewa, and some dry fruits. Mix jaggery with almonds, cashews, raisins, dates, and seeds. Then make the mixture in the shape of a ball and your laddoo is ready. You can also add millet flour if you want.
Whole Wheat Kheer
Usually, we make kheer by adding rice and lots of sugar. There is a healthier way to make kheer that everyone in your family can taste. Use whole wheat grains to make the kheer.
Mix the grains with milk, jaggery and dry fruits. Keep stirring the mixture until it is thick. Make sure to skip adding sugar and use jaggery instead. You can also add raisins if you like them. Pour the kheer into a dish and add some pista.
