With the vibrant flavours of ripe mango and the creamy, nutty foundation of traditional modak, Mango Modak is a delightful take on Maharashtra's classic sweet. Gudi Padwa, the Maharashtrian New Year, would not be complete without the traditional offering of modak, a symbol of prosperity and new beginnings. This fusion version features mango pulp that adds a pleasant tang, vibrant colour and sweetness to the coconut-condensed milk blend, while cardamom and saffron provide an aromatic touch. This no-steam, no-bake modak recipe is easier to shape using a modak mould or by hand.
