Modaks

Modaks are traditional Indian sweet dumplings, commonly associated with the festival of Ganesh Chaturthi. They are made by wrapping a sweet filling, often coconut and jaggery, in a soft rice or wheat flour shell. Modaks can be steamed, fried, or cooked in other ways, and are valued for their rich, comforting flavor. They symbolize prosperity and are considered a favorite offering to Lord Ganesha. With their pleasing texture and fragrant taste, modaks are enjoyed as a festive treat or during special occasions, embodying culinary tradition and cultural significance.
