From the online aunty

This online platform Patil kaki has made Maharashtrian delicacies easily accessible. The ukdiche modak is a huge hit and there’s also puran poli, bhajni chakli, karanji, besan laddu and chivda. Made using pure ghee, coconut, jaggery, cashews, raisins, flour and cardamom powder, the filling on the inside of a modak is made with the right sweetness and flavour so that when you take a bite, the filling oozes out, leaving a warm sweet taste.
