Amrita Rao Had A “Ukadiche Modak Moment With Ganapati Bappa”, Heres How It Looked

Ganesh Chaturthi is synonymous with modaks! Every year, with the onset of this 10-day festival, making this sweet dish topped with a drizzle of ghee becomes a routine in many households, especially in the state of Maharashtra. The festivities are incomplete without a delicious and generous dose of modaks. Our very own Bollywood celebrities, too, are not left behind. They worship the Lord in their own ways and also relish modaks. In a new Instagram post, actress Amrita Rao shared a photo where she’s seen having her “Ukadeeche Modak moment with Ganapati Bappa”.

Amrita, dressed in traditional attire, can be seen offering a plate of modaks to Lord Ganesha. The picture has our heart!

In another image, she has shared a close-up of Ukadeeche Modak, and asked her followers how many they’ve had.

We are drooling, to say the least. Like us, if Amrita’s post has left your mouth watering, we have a few recipes of modaks here for you to make at home. Take a look:

1) Modak

Make small dumplings of rice flour and fill them with coconut and jaggery. This sweet is everyone’s favourite, and we know why! During the festivities, 21 pieces of modak are offered as prasad.

2) Beetroot Modak

Now, that we have got you properly hooked to modaks, why not have some beetroot modak? With the goodness of beetroot and the modaks adding to the festivities, you wouldn’t even know how you’d trade the line between taste and health.

3) Active Charcoal Modak

We never thought active charcoal could be fused with modak, and a tasty dish would emerge. However, it is what it is. Make the modak in sugar syrup and lace it with cashews and pistachios, and watch everyone go gaga over it.

4) Fried Modak

Modaks are dumplings after all, and we have seen in our experience that dumplings taste better when fried. All you need to do is deep fry the modaks and enjoy the crunch.
