About Modak
Modak is a traditional Indian sweet dumpling, especially popular in Maharashtrian cuisine and associated with the Ganesh Chaturthi festival. These bite-sized treats are typically made using rice flour for the outer shell and filled with a mixture of freshly grated coconut and jaggery, flavored with cardamom or saffron. Modaks are usually steamed, known as "ukadiche modak," making them a relatively healthier dessert option compared to fried sweets. They contain natural sweeteners like jaggery, which offers minerals like iron, and coconut, which provides healthy fats and fiber. However, modaks can be calorie-dense, so portion control is important. The steamed version is lower in fat, making it a heart-friendlier choice, while fried modaks may add extra calories from oil. Rooted in Indian tradition, modaks are a delightful balance of flavor and cultural heritage, popular across generations as both a festive food and a treasured comfort dessert.
