Traditional Indian dessert dumplings made with rice flour and coconut jaggery stuffing. It is specifically made during the Indian festival of Ganapathi Chaturthi. It is believed that these steamed dumplings are Lord Ganesha’s favourite snack, and hence they are offered as bhog during this festival time.
Ukadiche Modak is a traditional rice dumpling sweet filled with coconut and jaggery stuffing. The word Ukad comes from Marathi, meaning steam, while Modak refers to the dumpling itself. People prepare it by steaming rice flour dough filled with a sweet coconut jaggery mix. It holds special importance during Ganesh Chaturthi in Maharashtra and is also enjoyed in nearby states. Devotees believe it to be the favourite sweet of Lord Ganesha, and they offer it as prasadam to family and friends. The soft outer rice flour shell combines perfectly with the rich and aromatic filling. The process requires skill to shape and seal the pleats neatly, which makes it unique. With or without mould, the final outcome always looks festive and divine.
