Ganeshotsav a.k.a. The Modak season is in full swing in Maharashtra and Pune of course is leading the wagon with its Modak game! Gharguti i.e. homemade ones have no comparison as such, but not everyone has the skillset or time to cook ukdiche modak at home.

At various general stores, food marts and sweet shops; you’ll find ready ukdiche modak during Ganeshotsav. You must be wondering who must be making or supplying these shops. You also may want to order this traditional delicacy in bulk for your family feasts. But do you know where to order from? This article has all these questions answered!

Akash Medhi of Chaitanya Caterers is the 4th generation that has been making and supplying ukdiche modak on a grand scale during every Ganeshotsav. If you have an order of minimum 21 modaks, they will happily pack it for you, fresh!

The setup you see in these pictures is nothing short of a food factory cooking a minimum 10 thousand modaks every day! All modaks cooked here are handmade and have Desi Ghee used while making. The original Ambemohor rice flour, natural jaggery and freshly grated coconut goes into the making of these divine and heavenly desserts. Maximum shops in Pune are selling ukdiche modak made in this factory run by Medhis.

Use of machinery like dough mixer, roller and huge steamer only helps to speed up the grand level of production to be finished in stipulated time. But still every modak is filled and packed by hand and is handled with utmost care and lots of love.

There are quite a few kitchens commercially making modaks in Pune and Pune Urbanly salutes all of them for their hard work! But Chaitanya Caterers in Kothrud by the Medhis is probably the largest in Pune. You probably have already eaten a modak made in their factory cum kitchen, but not aware of it. This is our effort to highlight the efforts of the Medhi family and the needy women they have been employing over the years; and make Punekars aware of Chaitanya caterers.

Ganpati Bappa Moraya!
