Ukadiche Modak
The traditional type of modak, which is comparatively healthier, tastier and filled with a lot of TLC, Ukadiche Modak, is not the easiest to make. However, they are the tastiest, despite the new evolutions of modaks that the culinary world keeps throwing at us.
Milk Modak
Milk modaks are nothing but our beloved classic sweets — Peda — getting a Ganesh Chaturthi makeover. Made with Kesar, plain milk or any other flavouring and essence, milk modaks are much faster and are perfect for those who need to make bigger batches of sweets for a grand Ganpati 2022 celebration.
Fried Modak
Fried Modak takes the best of both worlds — the sweetness of Ukadiche Modak and the crispiness of your favourite chips. Fried modaks are especially loved by those who want to create variety, using the same ingredients as Ukadiche Modak.
Chocolate Modak
If you want to make a quick, easy, no-bake modak, then chocolate modaks are the best for you. These instant modaks just need a modak shaper and can easily be whipped together in less than 10 minutes!

Many believe that the festive season is not an opportunity to cheat on their diet. And for those, or people looking for healthier Prasad alternatives, Makahana Modak is sure to be the perfect fit. Filled with the goodness of Makhana, the vitamins of various dry fruits and the subtle sweetness of jaggery, this dish is all healthy and equally yummy!
