When it comes to Ganesh Chaturthi, modaks are the go-to offering for Lord Ganesha, especially the classic ukadiche modak from Maharashtra. But how about a healthy twist like the ragi modak? Ragi, or finger millet, is a superfood packed with calcium, fibre, and iron, which makes this festive treat not only delicious but also quite healthy. It’s a fantastic option for health-conscious families looking to blend tradition with a modern, wholesome flair.
