This Ganesh Chaturthi, Bite Into Some of These Sinful Modaks?

Here are some quirky modaks to taste this #GaneshChathurti.

This Ganesh Chathurti indulge in some delightful modaks.

It’s that time of the year when the pot-bellied Ganesha makes us go mad over modaks. The deliciously sweet Indian dumplings are much loved during the festival.

The modak has taken an innovative twist as the years go by. We at The Quint have decided to take a fun, quirky twist and have modaks based on famous personalities.

Radhe Maa Modak

The oh-so-redelicious modak

This season, sweet siren!

The red velvet Radhe Maa modak is here. The pure and pious modaks are perfect for theme-based parties during the festive time, and are hot selling in the filmi duniya. If you’re looking to jazz up your Ganesh Chaturthi, then Swarovski crystals and other whimsical trinkets themed Radhe Maa modaks are a must buy. The Radhe Maa modaks are exclusively available at Borivli stores.

Sushma Swaraj Modak

The exotic modaks

Let us tell you that Sushma Swaraj modaks are not your ordinary modaks. They are exotic and sold only on humanitarian grounds. But the modaks haven’t become an instant hit among NRI communities, and Lalit Modi would vouch for it.

Raj Thackeray Modak

Customary made for Marathi manoos

The famous Raj Thackeray modaks are orange-flavoured dumplings that are hand-made by locals from the orange city of Nashik. Raj Thackeray modaks are so rare that they’re available only at MNS shakhas, and offered to only Marathi speaking people. Bite in at your own risk.

Rahul Gandhi Modak

The only modaks with special offers

Rahul Gandhi modaks look pretty and drool-worthy from far away. Once you get close, they appear hollow as a pipe. The modaks are traditionally made and consumed only in Amethi, Rae Bareli, and at times parcelled to Italy on request. These are the only variety of modaks that come with a special offer – With a Rahul Gandhi modak, you’ll get a family pack absolutely free!

Arvind Kejriwal Modak

Modaks for the aam aadmi

Arvind Kejriwal modaks are plain jane modaks filled with coconut and jaggery (’coz it’s cheaper than sugar). Priced at a meagre Rs 10, Arvind Kejriwal modaks are easily available at any paanwari, or kirana shop. Aam Aadmi Party Spokesperson Ashutosh has aggressively taken charge of marketing and selling these special modaks. The money earned from the modaks would go into the AAP’s kitty to buy new brooms.

So, this Ganesh Chathurti, which sinful modak would you like to bite into?
