About Modhaga

Modhaga, also known as Modak, is a traditional Indian sweet dumpling, deeply rooted in Indian cuisine and culture, especially during festivals like Ganesh Chaturthi. Typically made with rice flour or wheat flour as its outer shell, it is filled with a mixture of grated coconut and jaggery, and often flavored with cardamom. This steamed treat is rich in natural sweetness and offers a relatively healthier dessert option when compared to fried or sugar-laden sweets. The use of jaggery provides iron and other minerals, while coconut adds healthy fats and fiber. Being steamed rather than fried reduces calorie intake, making it light on digestion. However, due to its carbohydrate-rich composition, moderation is key for those managing calorie or sugar consumption. A perfect blend of taste and tradition, Modhaga is a delightful combination of nutrition and indulgence.
