Ingredient Ideology | A Melange Of Desi Flavors To Offer This Festive Season, By: Dr. Kaviraj Khialani- Celebrity Master Chef

It’s Festivity Time- Ganapati Bappa Morya!

With the onset of the auspicious occasion of Lord Ganesh Festival, we are now looking up to a series of occasions to celebrate, have an array of spreads and sweet treats to entice our palate and offer blessed delicacies to our loved ones, friends & families.

Sweets & mithai are always a temptation but moderation being the key to balance must be always kept in mind. Planning is of vital importance when it comes to festive cooking and especially with sweets, it is always a good idea to make a list of ingredients needed, approximate quantities required, any special unusual product/ equipment etc needed or so must be on the reminder list before we start getting into the kitchen to get things rolling.
