I always get excited around festivals and one of the main reason would be the sweets we make for the ocassion. I’m very fond of sweets and any ocassion for me is incomplete without making sweets or desserts. You won’t believe how I was as a kid. My mom would have to even hide sugar box from me or I would open it and just enjoy spoons of sugar πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ ..Yes, I have a big sweet-tooth and love it! So, this time for Ganesh Chaturthi, I decided to make some mawa modak. It is an easy and quick sweet made with dried milk.Β 

You can try for Ganesh Chaturthi – Thengai poorna kozhukattaiΒ Β 

So, sharing a quick sweet recipe today on a happy note of Ganesh Chaturthi. Hope you all give it a try and enjoy!

Quick Method to make khoya/Mawa at home:
Β
