    Ganesh Chaturthi Festival Foods

    The Ganesha Festival is a 10-day celebration in India, and it’s one of my absolute favorites! It’s all about coming together with family and friends, and of course, indulging in delicious food that makes the festivities even more special.

    The Ganesha Festival is all about indulging in sweet treats like Ukadiche Modak, Talniche Modak, and Laddoo, all made with so much enthusiasm! I also love savoring authentic vegetarian meals during this festive season.

    My mom's Masale Bhath, Batata Bhaji, and Puri are my absolute favorites—they bring back such warm memories.
