As the city of Mumbai gets ready to welcome Ganpati Bappa, streets come alive with dhols, decorations, and the aroma of something unmistakably festive, Modaks.
Join us for a hands-on Modak-Making Workshop, where tradition meets taste. Rooted in legend, modaks are believed to be Lord Ganesha’s most cherished treat which is a symbol of devotion, joy, and sweet beginnings. During the festival, offering modaks is seen as a way to seek his blessings for wisdom and prosperity.
In this session, you’ll learn how to make Ukadiche Modak, the classic steamed variety made with rice flour, coconut, and jaggery. We’ll guide you through every step, right from shaping the delicate folds to steaming them to perfection.
But this isn’t just a cooking class but a celebration. A chance to slow down, create something with your hands, and connect with the spirit of the season. Walk away with your handmade modaks and a warm memory to hold close this festive season.
What to Expect?
- Make modaks with your own hands, guided by an expert who’ll teach you the traditional technique with a touch of warmth.
- Learn the perfect recipe for Ukadiche Modak that is soft, sweet, and just how Bappa likes it!
- Hear beautiful stories and legends around Ganpati Bappa and his undying love for modaks.
