ganesh chaturthi recipes or vinayaka chaturthi recipes

ganesha chaturthi recipes

ganesh chaturthi or vinayaka chaturthi is one festival with which many of my childhood memories are associated. having grown up in mumbai, i have witnessed and been a part of this awesome festival many times.

my parents would take us at the various ganesh pandals in south mumbai during the 10 day festival. we would also have a huge pandal in our locality. we would also take part in the ganesh aarti both in the morning and in the evening. i have grown up experiencing the positive vibe and celebration which happens during the ganesha chaturthi festival.

ganesh chaturthi is celebrated with equal festivity and devotion in many states of india like maharashtra, karnataka, andhra pradesh, goa, gujarat and so on. the recipes which are prepared during ganesha chaturthi festival varies from state to state. e.g. modak or kozhukattai which is one of the favorite food of lord ganesha is prepared differently and sundals which are prepared in south india are not made in maharashtra.

so while making any recipe, please do check with your elders about the use of common ingredients like onion, garlic, spices or herbs etc as every community has different rules for fasting or festival recipes.

apart from modak, ladoos are also the most favorite food of lord ganesha. i have given below some recipe from the blog that can be made during the ganesh chaturthi festival.
