Bellam Kudumulu | Vinayaka Chavithi Recipes

Bellam Kudumulu is one of the special Vinayaka Chavithi Recipes that get done for the festival. Mostly prepared in the southern parts of India, these sweet balls are easy to make.

Our Ganesh Chaturthi is always special as its one of the festivals that Hubby Dear celebrates in a grand way. So we always make sure we make all the dishes that are Vinayakar’s favorite and we enjoy through the day. As I have mentioned before, all festivals in his hometown are always celebrated with poli. So part of that, I also make what Amma makes.

For the last couple of years, I have consciously saved up dishes that Amma had made to share on this occasion. I was surprised that I waited two years for these recipes to be shared. Check my Ganesh Chaturthi Festival list to know all the dishes that get made on this special occasion.

This year Ganesh Chaturthi falls on Aug 22nd and I hope these recipes will help you plan your festival better!

PIN This for later!

This version is the simple one, you can add soaked chana dal, other nuts to make it richer.
