Modak is the favourite sweet of Lord Ganapati, who is often referred to as Modakpriya. Traditionally cooked and savoured throughout the year, Modak finds it place of importance during the Ganapati festival. The Ganesh Chaturthi pooja concludes with a prasad of 21 Modaks offered to Lord Ganapati.
Modaks are generally made from rice flour shell while wheat flour also finds usage with some folk. Modaks made of rice flour shell are largely preferred during the festival of Ganesh Chaturthi, steamed and served teeming hot with a spoonful of traditional ghee
A Modak is considered great when it meets the four underlying principles of rich taste, aroma, texture and remaining soft for a long period. Of the two key aspects of a Modak; the Coconut-Jaggery filing and the Flour covering, the latter plays a key part in ensuring that the Modak fulfills all the four underlying principles to make a great Modak.
