These steamed modak & coconut chutney dumplings are a playful twist on a festive favourite. The soft rice flour shell cradles a fragrant jaggery-coconut filling that oozes sweetness, while a savoury coconut chutney on the side cuts through the richness. Together, they offer a perfect balance of textures and traditional taste; pure, nostalgic, and wholesome.
