Modak
Modak is a traditional Indian sweet dumpling, often associated with the festival of Ganesh Chaturthi. It is made from rice flour or wheat flour, filled with a mixture of grated coconut, jaggery, and cardamom. The dumplings can be steamed or fried, and they are known for their soft texture and rich flavor.
Modaks are particularly favored by devotees of Lord Ganesha, who is believed to enjoy this delicacy. They are typically shaped like a small pouch or a teardrop, symbolizing abundance and prosperity. This sweet treat is not only delicious but also holds cultural significance in Indian festivities.
