After Sawan, there is a flurry of festivals in India. Ganesh Chaturthi festival is celebrated a few days after Rakshabandhan. Ganesh Utsav starts from this day, which lasts for a full 10 days. The fervor of Ganesh Utsav is seen everywhere. People keep Bappa installed in their homes for ten days. In these ten days, he is offered a lot of delicacies.

If we talk about the favorite bhog of Ganpati Bappa, then modak comes first in it. Although you will find all kinds of modaks in the market, if you make modak yourself and offer it to Lord Ganesha, then Bappa will be pleased with it. This time during the Ganpati festival, you can offer chocolate modak to Bappa instead of ordinary ones. Here we are going to tell you the recipe for making delicious chocolate modak.

Ingredients to make Chocolate Modak

Milk chocolate – 200 grams

Cocoa powder – 1 tablespoon

Ingredients for stuffing

Khoya (mawa) – 100 grams

Sugar powder – 2 tablespoons

Coconut powder – 2 tablespoons

Cashews, almonds, pistachios (finely chopped)

Cardamom powder

Ghee

Method

To make chocolate modak, first of all, you have to prepare its stuffing. To prepare the stuffing, roast mawa in a pan on low flame. Fry it till it becomes light pink and starts releasing ghee. When mawa starts releasing ghee, add sugar powder, coconut powder, cashews, almonds, pistachios, and cardamom powder to it. Mix it well and then remove from the flame and let it cool.

While it is cooling, cut the milk chocolate into small pieces and melt it in the microwave. Add cocoa powder to this melted chocolate so that a uniform mixture is formed. Now to start the process of making modaks, first grease the modak mold with light ghee.

Now fill the prepared stuffing inside this mold. After filling the stuffing well, take it out. Prepare modeks in the same way. After all the modaks are ready, pour melted chocolate over them. Keep it in the fridge again for 10-15 minutes so that it sets completely. Your stuffed chocolate modeks are ready. After offering it as bhog, you can also distribute it as prasad.
