At Taj Holiday Village Resort & Spa, Chef Somnath Rakesh drives Vogue modaks. Modaks that appeal to today’s generations who are extremely health conscientious but at the same time value their tradition. To quote the chef: We strive to curate products that are sugar-free where the sweetness comes from dates, figs, or honey; lactose-free using almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, rice milk, or coconut milk—coconut milk being the most sought-after alternative for festivities and modaks. Gluten-free options by using millets.
While curating modak boxes in bulk on preorder, Chef Somnath offers options such as modaks with whole wheat flour replacing refined flour; steamed options replacing fried products; low- or no-sugar filling using jaggery, honey, dates, or maple syrup; or the addition of nuts like almonds or walnuts for protein and healthy fats.
