Indulge in homemade modak while you celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi

Festivals and sweets are synonymous in India. These are the days when a carefree indulgence in sweets is something always called for. But at the same time, in a country like ours where diabetes is on a steady rise, opting for a healthy option is more meaningful. And, here is a healthy way to go this festive season. Pack your modak with lots of nutrients and turn it healthy with dry fruits like figs, dates and nuts like almonds and cashews. Figs and dates are rich in natural sugar, dietary fibre and essential nutrients and a mix of cashews and almonds to step up the health quotient. Try this recipe at home and make the most of this festivity as you stay indoors.
