The primary sweet dish during the festival is Modak ("modak" in Marathi and Konkani, "modakam" or "kudumu" in Telugu, "modaka" or "kadubu" in Kannada, "kozhakatta" or "modakkam" in Malayalam and "kozhukattai" or "modagam" in Tamil). A "modak" is a dumpling made from rice or wheat flour, stuffed with grated coconut, , dried fruits and other condiments and steamed or fried. Another popular sweet dish is the "karanji" ("karjikai" in Kannada), similar to "modak" in composition and taste but in a semicircular shape. This sweet meal is called "Nevri" in Goa and is synonymous with Ganesh festival amongst the Goans and the Konkani diaspora.
