Modak - Indian Sweet ✨

Modak is a traditional treat made from rice flour or wheat flour dough, which is filled with a mixture of coconut and jaggery, and then either steamed or fried. These sweets are often shaped using a special mold and are renowned for being the favorite food of Lord Ganesha, a prominent deity in Hinduism.
