A Few Of Lord Ganesha's Favorite Foods

 

The 10-day Ganesh Chaturthi holiday has begun, and the joyous spirit could be felt in the air. The celebratory feast is made much more enjoyable by Lord Ganesha's fondness for sweet delights.

Lord Ganesha is also known as Modapriya in Hindu history because of his great fondness for Modaks, which were said to be his favourite dish. Modaks can be prepared in delicious flavours like easy chocolate modaks.  It is thought that serving Lord Shiva and Lord Ganesha twenty-one Modaks as a bhog will satisfy both of them. This is why, throughout these ten days, worshippers cook a variety of delicious dishes in an attempt to obtain Bappa's blessings.

There are, nevertheless, several additional sweet meals that were thought to be Bappa's preferences. Let us take a glance at the goods they provide.

1. Modak

Lord Ganesha's preferred meals are modaks, which is why he is also referred to as Modapriya.  Several accounts describe his fondness for the delicious dumplings. Devotees create different varieties of Modak and present them as prasad, using coconut, rice flour, jaggery, and sometimes even chocolates then steaming them to perfection.

Different types of modak:

•    Modak of Dry Fruits

Stuff the modaks with a wonderful blend of dry fruits such as cashews, pistachio, dates without seeds, chironji, khus khus, and almonds. To give it a nice basis, you may also incorporate khoya or mawa and coconut. The modak's outside coating might be similar.

•    Modak in Dark Chocolate

Who'd have guessed that easy chocolate modak will become so popular? Glucose biscuits and chocolate powder can be used to produce the modak's outer shell, which can then be stuffed with melted chocolate.  Grated coconut and different dried fruits could also be added to the stuffing.

•    Modak Chana Dal

In Tamil, Chana Dal Modak is called Kadalai Paruppu Pooranam Kozhukattai, and it is made in the same way, with the exception that the stuffing within is unique. Sauteed chana dal and gud or jaggery are incorporated into the filling.

2. Ladoos Motichoor

Laddoo is one among other of Lord Ganesha's favourite foods. The old writings of folklore related to his fondness for laddoos. Ganesha's fondness for laddoos is so strong that any depiction of him would be incomplete without them.

3. Ladoo with Puffed Rice

Ganesha's appetite for fine food was so strong that he refused Kubrera's invitation to dinner. Lord Ganesha was dissatisfied with the meal and desired to consume more. Lord Shiva was said to have asked that he be given some puffed rice in exchange for his devotion. His appetite was said to have been satisfied shortly after that. This is the reason why the Murmura jaggery laddoo is made and served to Lord Ganesha as a bhog.

4. Kheer

Kheer is thought to be God's favourite dish, which is why it is a must-have at practically every Indian event. Several forms of Kheer are cooked with milk on Vinayak Chaturthi, including Pala Thalikalu, Basundi, and Pala Undrallu, to mention a few.

5. Bananas

On the auspicious day of Ganesh Chaturthi, banana strands are presented to Lord Ganpati. This is since Lord Ganesha adores bananas and is wedded to Kola Bou, or the Banana Tree, as per the Bengali legend. This is the reason why a Ganpati Puja without bananas is considered unsatisfactory.

The Best Way to Make Brownies

Image
  Have you ever been incensed after patiently waiting for your baked goods to cook and cool only to discover they're too doughy or too crunchy? Is it not chocolaty enough? Is there no crackly top? So here are some tips for getting those brownies exactly how you would like them. •    Great quality ingredients Because there aren't many elements in good brownies, just use the finest you can buy. Dark chocolate is preferred and should be of high quality. There will be no baking or compound chocolate here. As the chocolate sets as the baked goods cool, the darker your chocolate, the denser and fudgier your brownies would be. Cocoa: If possible, use Dutch packaged chocolate. It has a sleeker taste and a nice dark tint. Usual cocoa, on the other hand, is ideal for brownies such as the Red Velvet Brownies. Eggs: Always choose free-range eggs. Instead of margarine, use butter: Butter always has a stronger texture and flavour. A fudgy brownie will utilize a variety of chocolat...

Different types of waffles found around the world

  Here are some of the different types of waffles listed below: THE AMERICAN WAFFLE Unlike the Belgian/Brussels waffle, which would be fermented with yeast, this waffle is fermented with baking powder (to make it thicker). American waffles can be sweetened with sugar and offered with sugary toppings, or they can be savoury or used as a framework for dishes like stew, roasted salmon, or turkey and sauce. BRUSSELS WAFFLE OR BELGIAN WAFFLE? In Belgium, what is recognized as a Belgian waffle in the United States is called a Brussels waffle. It is lighter and crisp than that of the Liège waffle, with large "honeycomb" gaps, and is frequently eaten as a dessert waffle. Waffles in Brussels are square and substantially bigger in dimension than waffles in the United States. They can be dusted with confectioners' sugar, drizzled with melted chocolate and/or whipped cream, or stacked high with berries, fruits, and nuts for the Belgian version of a sundae. In the United States, exoti...
