Modak is described as a dumpling confectionery with sweet stuffing. According to Hindu  beliefs, it is one of the favourite dishes of Lord Ganesha and is therefore used in prayers. Traditional  modak shows  sweet filling inside a modak consisting of freshly grated coconut and jaggery, while the outer soft shell is made from rice flour or wheat flour. But nowadays people prepare modak from the different ingredients and you will get many varieties out of it, which are not only flavourful but tasty also. I personally prepare 16 different types of modak.
