Bappa's Big Modak Combo

Shree Modak Box – The Pure Naivedya Kit

What’s Inside the Box

1. Native Dodki Rice Modak Peeth (Flour)

• Character: Milled from traditional, indigenous Dodki paddy.

• Why it matters: Dodki is an heirloom rice variety native to Maharashtra's Western Ghats belt. When stone-milled into modak peeth, it offers the ideal natural stickiness and softness needed for the hot-water steaming (ukad) method. The dough turns out pliable, easy to shape into delicate petals (kalya), and holds its form without cracking or drying out.

2. Traditional A2 Bilona Cow Ghee

• Method: Prepared using the age-old curd-churning (bilona) process.

• Why it matters: Ghee is the soul of an authentic modak. It enriches the outer dough, softens the freshly grated coconut filling, and provides that rich aroma when drizzled warm over freshly steamed modaks during Bappa’s naivedya.

3. Pure Black Jaggery Slab (Kala Gul)

• Character: Unrefined, chemical-free, mineral-rich traditional jaggery.

• Why it matters: Commercial pale jaggery often contains chemicals and lacks real flavor. This dark, unbleached jaggery melts evenly with fresh coconut to create a deep, caramelized filling with balanced sweetness and genuine village-style taste.

4. Kashmiri Mongra Saffron (Kesar)

• Origin: Kashmir Valley

• Grade: Original Mongra with deep crimson threads.

• Why it matters: Just a few strands steeped in warm milk lend a rich golden color and natural floral aroma to both the sweet filling and the finishing garnish on each modak.

Our Story: From an M.Sc. Agriculture Degree to a Clean Food Revolution!

Educated to Innovate, Driven to Create... Rutuja Navase

After completing my postgraduate degree in Agriculture (M.Sc. Agri), I had plenty of corporate job opportunities before me. However, sitting in an air-conditioned cabin doing a routine job just didn't speak to my heart. Having studied agriculture, I always had a deep desire to build something of my own — something deeply rooted, authentic, and genuinely beneficial to society.

Driven by this vision, we started a mushroom farming venture two years ago. While selling fresh mushrooms in the local market posed its challenges, we refused to give up. Instead, we adapted, processed them, and began crafting healthy, value-added byproducts like mushroom cookies and papads.

Discovering the Path to a Clean Food Revolution...

Interacting directly with customers at various food exhibitions opened our eyes to a massive shift in what people wanted. Post-pandemic, urban families had become deeply health-conscious. There was a surging demand for natural, jaggery-based alternatives to replace refined sugar.

Having some prior experience in baking, I decided to closely study the commercial biscuits available in the market. What I discovered was eye-opening. Most market cookies are packed with maida, palm oil, heavy preservatives, and synthetic chemicals. Truly wholesome, 100% clean cookies were virtually non-existent.

That's when a single thought took root: We need to create a cookie so pure and clean that it stands apart in the market!

Baking Real Goodness: The Birth of Our Ragi Dry Fruit Cookies

We refused to take factory shortcuts. Instead, we brought together a powerful blend of traditional, clean ingredients:

• Nutrient-Rich Ragi (Finger Millet)
• Jaggery Powder
• Pure Cow Ghee
• Whole Wheat Flour

By combining these wholesome staples, we crafted our signature Ragi Dry Fruit Cookies — delivering the rich, delicious flavor that children love, while packing the natural goodness of millet and pure cow ghee.

An Overwhelming Response & Our Ultimate Reward

From the very first day of our launch, the response from customers has been phenomenal. For parents, it has quickly become the go-to wholesome school tiffin or evening snack option.

We now receive messages every single day from delighted customers saying, "We have never tasted cookies this delicious, rich, and pure anywhere else before!" Knowing that a mother can confidently hand our cookies to her child is the highest recognition and the truest reward for our hard work.

Empowering Rural Communities

Operating under our parent company, Krushikanya Foods, Agro Queen Foods is proudly based in the remote village of Wagholi, located within the Koregaon taluka of the Satara district. Today, our core production unit is managed by my mother, my brother, and myself. Alongside our family, we have also been able to empower our community by bringing in two local rural women to handle our packaging operations.

For us, this isn't just a business driven by profit. It is a mission to uplift rural women entrepreneurs while delivering unadulterated, nourishing, traditional food straight to your family's table.

When you choose Agro Queen Foods, you aren't just buying a snack — you are supporting an authentic journey of purity, tradition, and rural empowerment!
