Offbeat sweets for Lord Ganesha
Updated On: 01 September, 2013 04:58 AM IST | | Moeena Halim
Tradition may demand that the Lord Ganesha be welcomed with a generous dose of sweetmeats, but who says the humdrum modak is the only way to go? Moeena Halim picks gourmet desserts that offer innovative options to replace the traditional rice flour shells stuffed with a coconut and jaggery concoction
A fusion treat
Ganeshji must be fed up of modaks. He needs a change,” says Chef Harsh Shodhan from the Gourmet Catering Co. Move over modak, the Gourmet Catering Co’s muffins are here. Shodhan, adding an Indian twist to the American dessert, is offering a host of Indian flavoured muffins including kesar-pista, roasted almond, salted peanuts and kesar-elaichi. These might sound more like kulfi flavours to you, and that’s just what Shodhan wants. “The idea is to offer Indian flavour, but dish up western desserts at the same time. Indian sweets are done to death and I wanted to offer something different. Most people would avoid offering chocolate to god, so I needed an alternative to that too. Muffins I felt are a great option; they’re not lathered with buttercream or frosting. I make them eggless, so they’re perfect for festivals.”
