These steamed dumplings are the quintessential offering for Lord Ganesha, featuring a silky-smooth outer shell made from fine rice flour. The heart of the modak is a succulent filling of fresh grated coconut and jaggery, flavored with cardamom and nutmeg. Best enjoyed piping hot with a generous drizzle of homemade “Sajuk Tup” (pure ghee), they are a masterpiece of steamed confectionery.
