Key Highlights
- To make healthier sweets, reduce your serving size to not more than 10-15 grams per mithai
- Replace traditional Churma Modak with healthier options like Besan Laddoo or Sattu Modak
- Using jaggery or fresh date syrup made at home without white sugar in sweets is healthier
It's impossible to ignore modaks and other delicious treats during Ganesh Chaturthi. The festive season demands everybody to celebrate and enjoy to the fullest by gorging on different kinds of dishes and drinks. Interestingly, they are now tweaked while retaining the essence of the festivities. As the years pass and more people are mindful of their eating habits and their diet, more people want to also adopt the practice of eating healthy sweets for Ganeshotsav apart from other festivals during the year.
