Modaks & Laddus

No sweet says Ganesh Chaturthi like the modak. The pleated shape, the soft shell and the sweet centre are Bappa's favourite, and a plate of 21 waits beside the idol in most homes on 14 September. This collection is our fresh handmade modaks and laddus, made in small batches for UK families, together with the modak pith you need to steam your own ukadiche modak at home.

Buy Modak Online in the UK

Finding fresh modak online in the UK has always been hard, with most mithai shops offering nothing beyond a dry kaju version. Browse modaks and laddus here and a chilled box travels with your puja order to most UK postcodes, ready to open and offer at sthapana.

Our Fresh Handmade Modaks

Three flavours, each in a 250g box of five to six pieces. Mango modak, or amba modak,Rose modak, or gulab modak, carries a gentle rose fragrance. Rava modak uses roasted semolina in the traditional Maharashtrian way. Alongside them sits our white coconut laddu, or nariyal laddu, soft fresh coconut rolled by hand. All four are made with milk, so keep them refrigerated and bring them out half an hour before the offering.

Make Ukadiche Modak at Home

For the classic steamed ukadiche modak, Sohum Udyog Suvasik Modak Pith gives you the fine rice flour for the shell. Add fresh coconut and Kolhapuri jaggery from our pooja essentials, a pinch of cardamom, and follow our guide to the different types of modak for fried, mawa and dry fruit versions too. Round out the thali with prasad sweets such as motichoor and besan ladoo.

Why Order Modaks from Gayatri Store

We are a UK Indian grocery store that prepares for the festival calendar all year. Our fresh modaks are made in small batches so they reach you soft, orders are packed chilled with care, and dispatch is timed for sthapana day. Order three to four days before Monday 14 September and add fresh flowers and durva so the whole offering arrives together.
