Ukadiche modak are soft steamed rice flour dumplings filled with a sweet coconut and jaggery mixture, delicately flavored with cardamom. A traditional Maharashtrian sweet made especially for Ganesh Chaturthi, these modaks are considered Lord Ganesha’s favorite offering. With their melt-in-the-mouth texture and aromatic filling, they’re not only festive but also comforting to enjoy warm and fresh.
