With festivities at its peak, Mumbaikars are all ready to celebrate Ganeshotsav in the coming days in the city. With the city being synonymous with the festival, every year, the city transforms into a vibrant city of devotion, as different pandals including Lalbaugcha Raja sprout in different parts. 

However, the festivities are incomplete without food, and while modaks are a favourite during this time of the year, there are many other dishes that are made and relish, but not before giving it as an offering to Lord Ganesha, and it gets even better when it is Maharashtrian dishes. 

With the festival almost here, Mumbaikars and chefs share recipes for dishes that are often favourites, but also others that are lesser known beyond the community. While the Bharleli Vangi is a must among savoury dishes, you can also celebrate with Shirvale and Kantola Bhaji, they say, after you offer it to Bappa in your home.
