Modak is a traditional Indian sweet dumpling revered in many regions of India, particularly during the Ganesh Chaturthi festival. These delectable treats are made with a soft, outer rice flour dough and filled with a sweet mixture of freshly grated coconut and jaggery, flavored with cardamom and sometimes garnished with poppy seeds or nutmeg. The dumplings are often steamed in banana leaves, giving them a unique, fragrant aroma. Modaks are cherished for their delicate texture and rich, sweet filling, making them a festive delight and a symbol of auspiciousness and celebration.
