• A. Modak
• B. Puran Poli
• C. Basundi
• D. Ada

Hint:

Ada is a special dish in Kerala, typically prepared during Onam and other festivals.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Ada is a traditional rice dough sweet, filled and steamed in banana leaves, characteristic of Kerala.
- Modak, a Maharashtrian sweet, resembles Ada but is typically made with rice flour and filled with coconut and jaggery.
- Puran Poli, a Maharashtrian flatbread, contains a sweet lentil filling and is not prepared with rice dough.
- Basundi, a Gujarati milk-based dessert, does not involve rice dough or banana leaves.
Therefore, Ada is the correct answer.
