Modak (Marathi: मोदक) or Modakam (Sanskrit: मोदकम्), also referred to as Koḻukattai (கொழுக்கட்டை) in Tamil,[1] is an Indian sweet dish popular in many Indian states and cultures. According to Hindu and Buddhist beliefs, it is one of the favourite dishes of Ganesha and the Buddha and is therefore used in prayers.[2][3][4] The sweet filling inside a modak consists of freshly grated coconut and jaggery, while the outer soft shell is made from rice flour or wheat flour mixed with khowa or maida flour.[5]
There are two distinct varieties of Modakam, fried and steamed. The steamed version (called Ukadiche Modakam)[6] is often served hot with ghee.
