Ganesh Chaturthi Modaks See Modern Variations, Natural Colors, and Sugar-Free RecipesPreviousNext

Ahead of Ganesh Chaturthi, traditional modaks are being reimagined with modern twists, natural colors, and healthier ingredients. Mumbai-based patisseries offer chocolate and marzipan versions alongside classic sweets. Experts suggest using natural kitchen ingredients like beetroot and turmeric for coloring modaks, avoiding artificial dyes. Celebrity trainer Yasmin Karachiwala shares a sugar-free recipe using nuts, dates, and figs, providing a nutrient-rich alternative. These innovations complement rather than replace traditional offerings, catering to evolving festive preferences.
