Coconut Modak

Coconut Modak is a traditional Indian sweet typically enjoyed during festivals like Ganesh Chaturthi. It is made by combining freshly grated coconut with jaggery (unrefined sugar), spices, and sometimes rice or sesame flour. The mixture is cooked until sticky and then shaped into small, dome-like molds called modaks, often with a sweet, chewy exterior and a rich coconut filling. The result is a flavorful, aromatic treat that blends the natural sweetness of coconut and jaggery, offering a satisfying balance of textures and flavors enjoyed as an offering or dessert.
