Your grandma probably won’t approve. But think about it. If the Lord Ganesha idol can be eco-friendly now, why can’t he be offered chocolate modaks? Apart from the several traditional modaks, chocolate modaks have emerged as the most popular and the most-ordered online and at city sweet shops. Sweet-makers and shopkeepers unanimously vote for this new entrant even as the variety of modaks available could boggle your mind. From chocolate, strawberry, butterscotch, mint to vanilla... you name it, they have it.
The manager from Brijwasi Sweets, Churchgate, informs, “Chocolate modaks are in huge demand. We just sold 10 kilos of these today. And more orders are pouring in. We even have strawberry modaks.” The sweetshop has the regular mawa, kesari, kaju, kesar-pista, malai, chirawa, kesari-mawa, anjeer, badam, besan, and motichoor modaks.
Online too, chocolate modaks have been the most ordered. Aditi Talreja, director of Deliverychef.in, explains, “Long queues at sweetshops during the Ganpati festival frustrate people. But more and more people are ready to experiment with their modaks. We get a lot of orders for modaks on our website. We’ve seen that youngsters prefer chocolate over traditional modaks. And also, they are longer lasting than regular sweets. We also have modak cupcakes in butterscotch, vanilla and mint flavours.” She informs they have 18 varieties of mithai modaks, apart from ones such as — chocolate with pera filling, Ganpati-shaped, mawa-apple, malai-mango, sugar-free, tiranga and dry fruit.
The chocolate modak comes in all its variations — white, dark, praline and mint flavours. Shraddha, daughter of Neeru Mehra, who runs Neeru’s Cakes & Desserts, says, “We make malai, coconut, rose, walnut, almond and orange modaks too. We started chocolate modaks last year and it’s already a rage. We are also doing modaks using ethnic Ganesha colours — yellow and orange. The decorative hampers with chocolate modaks, a Ganesha idol and decorated thalis are doing really well.”
So what kinda’ modak would you celebrate Bappa with, this time?
