Ganesh Chaturthi is incomplete without modaks, the traditional sweet also given as offerings to Lord Ganesha. Even if there are many different kinds of offerings in the form of sweets, the delicious sweet treat always ends up being a favourite among devotees and even neighbours of other faiths, who get a taste of it during this time of the year. 

While the traditional ukdiche modak is always made in most homes, many have been experimenting with flavours that even Lord Ganesh would enjoy for the love of food. As Mumbai's atmosphere transforms over the next 10 days, Indian chefs say you can also try your hand at something new. Why settle for the traditional when you can innovate with the flavours. 

They remind that innovation doesn't come at the cost of the sentiment but simply elevating the flavours while keeping the tradition in mind. The chefs not only share recipes for a unique variaton of the chocolate modak but also vegan version, and matcha too, apart from adding some green apple, cinnamon and coconut to the classic modak.
