    Ukdiche Modak: A sweet from Maharashtra loved in Hyderabad

    When the festival season arrives, food becomes the heart of celebrations. Every culture has its own festive delicacy, and for Maharashtrians, it is the humble yet divine Ukdiche Modak during Ganesh Chaturthi. These soft, white dumplings filled with coconut and jaggery are said to be Lord Ganesha’s favorite. But beyond religion, they are simply a comforting, homely sweet that anyone and everyone can enjoy perfectly with a drizzle of ghee and a smile. Let’s know more about this sweet delicacy and explore with Siasat.com where Hyderabadi’s can enjoy it.

    Where it began

    Ukdiche Modak comes from Maharashtra, where families have been making it for generations. The word “Ukdiche” means steamed, and that’s what makes this sweet different from the fried versions we often see. Traditionally, they were steamed in banana leaves, which gave them a special aroma. Over time, they travelled across Goa, Konkan, Karnataka and now, Hyderabad too.

    Why people love it

    The charm of Ukdiche Modak is its balance, light on the stomach, yet rich in flavor. The outer layer is made with rice flour dough, soft and delicate. Inside, there’s a filling of fresh coconut, jaggery, and cardamom, cooked until it turns gooey and golden. Once steamed, the dumplings shine and smell heavenly. Add a little ghee on top, and they simply melt in the mouth.

    How it is made

    Pleated into dumplings and steamed till glossy. The only challenge is shaping the pleats neatly, that’s not less than a work of art but that’s also part of the fun and family bonding in many homes.
