Choosing an Indian sweet making mold starts with the sweet you want to shape most often: ladoo, modak, or gujiya. My leading pick for a broad home collection is the SiliFine 2-Piece Metal Ladoo and Gujiya Mold Set, since it combines two sizes with shapes suited to more than one sweet. For modak-focused festival prep, the Garden Of Arts Ganpati Modak Moulds provide a dedicated plastic option with dishwasher-friendly care. If portion flexibility matters most for ladoos, the Plastic Ladoo Maker Mold Set offers three sizes rather than two.

The tradeoffs are practical: metal models are reusable and offer a firmer shaping tool, but they do not provide the same molded-plastic format or size range as some alternatives. Plastic sets can be lightweight and convenient, though buyers may prefer metal for a more substantial tool. The single-piece Librana Home Aluminum Modak and Gujiya Mould is a focused choice for two filled sweets, but its small dimensions may limit portion size. I rank these picks by how clearly their shape, quantity, material, and stated care suit distinct home sweet-making needs.

More Details on Our Top Picks
SiliFine 2-Piece Metal Ladoo and Gujiya Mold Set
This is my most versatile pick because its purpose is not limited to one named sweet: the set is described for shaping ladoo, gujiya, and other sweets. It includes a larger 5 × 10 cm mold and a smaller 5 × 5 cm mold, giving a home cook two different shaping formats instead of two near-identical tools. That mix earns it the top position for households that make more than one kind of sweet across the year.
The reusable metal construction sets it apart from the yellow plastic Garden Of Arts options. Buyers looking for a more substantial material may prefer this set, though the plastic sets have their own advantages: the modak pair is listed as dishwasher-friendly, and the three-size ladoo set offers more portion choices. This set’s two shapes are a better fit for variety than the dedicated square SiliFine ladoo pair, but those who mainly make ladoos may find the other pair’s matching square format easier to choose between.
The main limitation is that the supplied details do not explain a specific closing mechanism or give a cleaning method beyond describing the molds as easy to clean. Its manual measurements may vary slightly, so I would not choose it where exact dimensions are a deciding factor. Still, for a buyer who wants a reusable metal set aimed at several Indian sweets, its combination of stated uses and different sizes makes the strongest all-round case in this lineup.
Pros:- Includes two molds in different sizes: 5 × 10 cm and 5 × 5 cm.
- Reusable metal construction.
- Described for ladoos, gujiyas, and other sweets.
- Designed for easy shaping and cleaning.
Cons:- The supplied details do not specify a hinge or exact shaping mechanism.
- Manual measurements may vary slightly.
- Only two molds are included, fewer than the three-size ladoo set.
Best for: Home cooks who make both ladoos and gujiyas and want two reusable metal molds in different sizes.
Not ideal for: Shoppers seeking a modak-specific tool, dishwasher-friendly care details, or a three-size range for portion control.
- Brand:SiliFine
- Material:Metal
- Set contents:2 molds
- Larger mold size:1.97 × 3.94 in (5 × 10 cm)
- Smaller mold size:1.97 × 1.97 in (5 × 5 cm)
- Reusable:Yes
- Stated uses:Ladoo, gujiya, and other sweets
Our verdict“I rank this first for its useful mix of two sizes, reusable metal construction, and stated fit for both ladoos and gujiyas.”
Garden Of Arts Ganpati Modak Moulds, Plastic, Set of 2
For shoppers whose main goal is shaping modak, this is the clearest specialist in the group. The two-piece set is designed for Ganpati modak, a traditional offering associated with Lord Ganesha, rather than asking the buyer to adapt a general ladoo mold. Its plastic construction and listed dishwasher-friendly care also give it a different routine from the metal SiliFine pair, which is described as washable but does not specify dishwasher use.
The dedicated purpose is its strongest advantage and its biggest constraint. Compared with the SiliFine mixed-sweet set, this pair does not claim use for gujiya or ladoo; compared with the Librana aluminum mold, it provides two pieces rather than one. The description lists a 2.76 × 2.76 × 0.79 inch size and a yellow finish. It also gives both a volume of 176 milliliters and a capacity of 180 ml, so I would treat those figures as approximate rather than rely on them for exact filling calculations.
The listing describes the plastic as free of several materials and chemicals, including BPA, PVC, PTFE, phthalates, and lead. Those are product claims, not a reason to assume identical performance to metal. Buyers who want a firmer metal tool should choose one of the SiliFine sets; buyers who want a named modak mold with two pieces and stated dishwasher-friendly care have a more direct match here.
Pros:- Two molds designed specifically for modak.
- Listed as hand-washable and dishwasher-friendly.
- Plastic material is stated to be free of several listed substances, including BPA and PVC.
- Compact listed dimensions of 2.76 × 2.76 × 0.79 inches.
Cons:- Plastic construction may not suit buyers seeking a more substantial metal tool.
- Listed volume and capacity differ: 176 milliliters versus 180 ml.
- The supplied description focuses on modak rather than multiple sweet types.
Best for: People who regularly prepare modak for Ganpati or other occasions and want a dedicated two-piece set with stated dishwasher-friendly care.
Not ideal for: Buyers who primarily shape ladoos or gujiyas, or who prefer metal or aluminum over plastic.
- Brand:Garden Of Arts
- Material:Plastic
- Number of pieces:2
- Color:Yellow
- Dimensions:2.76 × 2.76 × 0.79 in
- Weight:0.08 kg
- Care:Hand-washable; dishwasher-friendly
- Listed volume and capacity:176 ml volume; 180 ml capacity
- Model number:BAL0285
Our verdict“I recommend this pair over the broader metal picks when modak is the main job and dishwasher-friendly care matters.”
Plastic Ladoo Maker Mold Set, 3 Sizes
When sweet size matters more than metal construction, this three-piece set has the clearest advantage: it offers small, medium, and large options for ladoos and other Indian sweets. That gives a cook more room to adjust portions for a family serving, a festive platter, or different preferences at home. The two SiliFine sets each include only two molds, so this is the lineup’s most flexible choice for changing the size of a ladoo.
The product description says to add the prepared mixture and filling, then use the mold to form sweets quickly. It is also described as reusable and compact to store. Those points suit frequent home preparation, but the listing supplies less detail about exact dimensions for each size than the SiliFine pair, whose two mold measurements are explicit. Buyers who need to know the size of each finished sweet before choosing may prefer that clearer specification.
This is a plastic alternative to the metal and aluminum models, and the listing says it is BPA-free. Plastic can be a sensible choice for a lightweight set with three size options, but it may be less durable than metal, as the supplied product information acknowledges. I also would not use the included volume figure of 31.5 cubic centimeters to infer the capacity of every size: the listing does not break that figure down by mold. Choose this set for range, not for precise material or capacity specifications.
Pros:- Includes small, medium, and large sizes.
- Reusable for repeated sweet-making sessions.
- Designed for quick shaping of ladoos and other Indian sweets.
- Compact for storage and listed as BPA-free.
Cons:- Plastic may be less durable than the metal and aluminum alternatives.
- Exact dimensions for each of the three sizes are not supplied.
- The listed volume is not explained by individual mold size.
Best for: Ladoo makers who want three portion sizes in one reusable set and prefer a lightweight plastic tool.
Not ideal for: Buyers who want metal construction, exact measurements for every individual size, or a modak- or gujiya-focused mold.
- Brand:Garden Of Arts
- Material:Plastic
- BPA-free:Yes
- Number of pieces:3
- Sizes:Small, medium, and large (Nos. 1, 2, and 3)
- Color:Yellow
- Dimensions:5.91 × 1.97 × 1.97 in
- Weight:100 g
- Listed volume:31.5 cm³
Our verdict“I would choose this set over the two-size options when portion variety for ladoos is the deciding factor.”
SiliFine Set of 2 Metal Ladoo Moulds, Small and Medium
This SiliFine pair is the focused choice for cooks who make ladoos more often than gujiyas or modaks. Its two square metal molds measure 4 × 4 cm and 5 × 5 cm, so the size difference is easy to understand: one smaller option and one medium option, without a large format to store. Compared with the mixed-sweet SiliFine set at the top of the ranking, this one gives up the stated gujiya use in exchange for a more consistent ladoo-specific shape.
It also offers a firmer-material alternative to the three-size Garden Of Arts plastic set. That plastic set wins on portion range, while this one wins for buyers who want metal and only need two sizes. The description says the molds are reusable and washable, making them suitable for home use or festivals. It does not state dishwasher compatibility, and the supplied information does not describe a hinge, so shoppers wanting a hinged fill-and-press tool should compare it with Librana’s aluminum mold.
Its square format may not suit every preferred ladoo shape, and the modest size spread is less versatile than small, medium, and large. Still, for a buyer who wants a compact pair dedicated to ladoos, the measurements are more explicit than the size details provided for the three-piece plastic set. I place it below the broader picks because its stated use is narrower, not because the basic two-size idea is poorly matched to its intended job.
Pros:- Includes small and medium molds with stated measurements.
- Reusable and washable metal construction.
- Square shape is consistent across both sizes.
- Sized for home use and festival preparation.
Cons:- Only two sizes are included, compared with three in the Garden Of Arts ladoo set.
- The supplied description focuses on ladoos and other sweets rather than naming gujiya or modak.
- Manual measurements may vary slightly, and color may differ by screen.
Best for: Home cooks who want two reusable metal molds for small and medium square ladoos.
Not ideal for: People who want a three-size range, a mold explicitly intended for modak or gujiya, or stated dishwasher-safe care.
- Brand:SiliFine
- Material:Metal
- Included components:2 ladoo moulds
- Small size:1.57 × 1.57 in (4 × 4 cm)
- Medium size:1.97 × 1.97 in (5 × 5 cm)
- Shape:Square
- Reusable:Yes
- Care:Washable
Our verdict“This is my straightforward pick for a small, reusable metal pair when ladoos—not mixed sweet shapes—are the main priority.”
Librana Home Aluminum Modak and Gujiya Mould
Librana’s distinguishing feature is its hinged fill-close-press design. The product is described for shaping both modaks and gujiyas, making it a more focused two-sweet tool than either ladoo set. Its simple process may suit a cook who wants to form filled sweets into a more uniform shape without assembling a set of separate molds. Unlike the Garden Of Arts modak pair, this is a single aluminum piece; unlike the SiliFine mixed set, its description explicitly calls out a hinged action.
The aluminum construction makes it the only listed pick with that combination of material and hinge. It is reusable and weighs 13.61 g according to the supplied details, but there is only one mold in the package. The dimensions are 3 × 1 × 2 inches, and the product information warns that the small size may limit the finished sweets. Buyers preparing larger portions or several shapes at once may get more practical range from SiliFine’s two-piece mixed set or the three-size ladoo set.
I rank it fifth because it has the narrowest quantity and size flexibility, even though its mechanism gives it a clear niche. It is not the best general collection for a household that rotates among ladoos, modaks, and other sweets. For someone specifically seeking one reusable hinged tool for modak and gujiya, however, the combination is distinct enough to warrant consideration. The listing does not give a cleaning method, so I would not assume dishwasher compatibility.
Pros:- Designed for both modaks and gujiyas.
- Hinged fill-close-press design supports repeatable shaping.
- Reusable aluminum construction.
- Light listed weight of 13.61 g.
Cons:- Only one mold is included.
- Small 3 × 1 × 2 inch dimensions may limit sweet size.
- The supplied details do not specify a cleaning method.
Best for: A cook who wants one reusable hinged aluminum tool for forming modaks and gujiyas.
Not ideal for: People who need several molds, larger finished sweets, multiple ladoo sizes, or stated dishwasher-care guidance.
- Material:Aluminum
- Dimensions:3 × 1 × 2 in
- Weight:13.61 g
- Number of pieces:1
- Design:Hinged, reusable mold
- Stated uses:Modaks, gujiyas, and other homemade sweets
- Shaping process:Fill, close, and press
Our verdict“I would pick Librana for its single hinged modak-and-gujiya function, but not for buyers who need size or quantity flexibility.”
How We Picked
I compared these five options as tools for making Indian sweets at home, not as general-purpose kitchen molds. The main ranking factors were the sweets each mold is intended to form, the number and range of pieces, the stated material, and practical details such as reusability and cleaning. A mold built around modak solves a different problem from a set of two square ladoo molds, so I did not treat a higher piece count as an automatic advantage.
I gave more weight to clear task fit and useful choice than to claims that cannot be checked from the supplied product details. That puts the SiliFine mixed ladoo-and-gujiya set first: it spans more than one sweet and includes two sizes. The modak pair ranks ahead of the single aluminum tool for dedicated modak making because it supplies two pieces and has dishwasher-friendly care listed. The three-size ladoo set earns a distinct role for portion choice, while the two-size square SiliFine set remains a straightforward option when ladoos are the priority.
Material also shapes the order. Metal and aluminum are reusable options with a firmer construction than the plastic models described here, while plastic sets offer their own appeal through light weight, multiple sizes, and, for the modak pair, stated dishwasher-friendly care. I have not inferred exact durability, release quality, or food-contact performance beyond the supplied descriptions. One listing includes a volume and capacity that do not match, and another has dimensions that may constrain sweet size; I call out those limitations rather than smoothing them over.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Indian Sweet Making Molds
I would choose an Indian sweet mold by matching the tool to the sweet and portion style I actually make. The five options here split into two clear groups: molds centered on ladoo sizing and tools aimed at modak or gujiya shaping. Material and care matter too, but the listed dimensions and intended use are more useful starting points than a broad claim that a mold works for every recipe.
Start With the Sweet You Make Most
If ladoos are the main reason for buying, compare the three-size Garden Of Arts set with the two SiliFine pairs. The three-piece option gives the most stated portion variety; the SiliFine small-and-medium pair offers clearer measurements and metal construction. For gujiya alongside ladoos, the SiliFine mixed set and Librana’s hinged aluminum mold are the options whose descriptions name gujiya. For modak, the dedicated Garden Of Arts pair is the most direct match, while Librana also lists modak among its uses.
Do not assume every mold will form every sweet equally well. A tool described for ladoos may not create the same shape as a modak mold, and the product details do not give a recipe-by-recipe compatibility chart. I would make the intended sweet the first filter, then compare sizes and material among the remaining choices.
Compare Size Range With Finished Portion Needs
The number of molds and the size spread determine how much choice you get. Garden Of Arts’ plastic ladoo set offers three sizes—small, medium, and large—while both SiliFine sets provide two molds. The mixed SiliFine set gives a 5 × 10 cm and a 5 × 5 cm mold; the dedicated ladoo pair lists 4 × 4 cm and 5 × 5 cm. Those measurements make it easier to compare the two SiliFine options, though the listing does not say exactly how large each finished sweet will be.
Librana is a single mold with listed dimensions of 3 × 1 × 2 inches, and the product description notes that its size may limit the finished sweet. Garden Of Arts’ modak listing gives dimensions, volume, and capacity, but its volume and capacity figures differ slightly. I would treat that discrepancy as a reason not to plan exact batch quantities around those numbers.
Choose Material and Care Around Your Kitchen Routine
The SiliFine molds are metal, and Librana is aluminum. These reusable options may appeal to buyers who prefer a metal tool over plastic, but the supplied descriptions do not provide a comparative durability test or detailed cleaning instructions for every product. The Garden Of Arts modak pair is plastic and explicitly listed as hand-washable and dishwasher-friendly. The three-size ladoo set is also plastic and described as reusable, compact, and BPA-free, but its care details do not specify dishwasher use.
If dishwasher-friendly care is a requirement, the modak pair has the clearest stated fit. If metal is your priority, compare SiliFine’s two sets with Librana, keeping the latter’s one-piece count and small dimensions in mind. I would not treat a missing care statement as proof that a product is unsafe for a particular cleaning method; it simply means the supplied details do not confirm it.
Decide Whether You Want a Simple Mold or a Hinged Press
Librana is the only option described with an explicit hinged fill-close-press process. That feature gives it a distinct role for someone who wants to close a filled mold to shape modaks or gujiyas. The SiliFine mixed set and the ladoo pair do not specify a hinge or a particular closing action in their supplied details, so I would compare them on their stated shape and size rather than assume they work like Librana.
A hinged design is not automatically the best fit for every sweet: it comes as one small mold, while multi-piece sets offer more choice or a second tool. Consider whether the convenience of a defined press action matters more than choosing among sizes or having more than one mold in hand.
Use Listing Details Carefully
Some measurements are approximate or incomplete. The SiliFine listings note that manual measurements may vary slightly. The modak pair lists 176 milliliters for volume and 180 ml for capacity, and the three-size ladoo set gives a volume figure without a separate value for each mold. These details do not make the products unusable, but they limit exact comparisons of finished portion size.
For the most predictable purchase, prioritize the dimensions and functions that are stated clearly: two measured SiliFine molds, three named ladoo sizes, a dishwasher-friendly modak pair, or a single hinged aluminum tool. I would avoid reading more into a specification than it says, especially when it does not state final sweet dimensions, material thickness, or a cleaning method.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which mold is the most versatile for different Indian sweets?
I would start with the SiliFine 2-Piece Metal Ladoo and Gujiya Mold Set because its description names ladoos, gujiyas, and other sweets, and it includes two differently sized molds. Librana also names modak and gujiya, but it is a single small hinged tool. Neither listing proves that one mold will suit every sweet style, so choose based on the specific shapes you make most often.
Which option is most suitable for making modak?
The Garden Of Arts Ganpati Modak Moulds are the clearest modak-focused option: the set includes two plastic molds and is listed as hand-washable and dishwasher-friendly. Librana’s aluminum mold is another choice when you want a hinged tool for both modaks and gujiyas, but it includes one piece and has small listed dimensions.
Which mold set gives the most choice in ladoo size?
The Plastic Ladoo Maker Mold Set offers small, medium, and large sizes, giving it the widest stated portion range among the ladoo-focused options. The SiliFine square metal pair provides only small and medium sizes, but its measurements are stated individually. Choose the three-size set for range; choose SiliFine if two measured metal molds better match your needs.
Are any of these molds listed as dishwasher-friendly?
Yes. The Garden Of Arts Ganpati Modak Moulds are described as both hand-washable and dishwasher-friendly. The SiliFine molds are described as washable, but the supplied details do not specifically say they are dishwasher-safe. The Librana listing does not state a cleaning method, so I would not assume dishwasher compatibility for those options.
What should I check before choosing between plastic and metal molds?
Match the material to your preference, then compare the sweets and sizes each product is actually designed for. The metal SiliFine sets offer two reusable molds, while the aluminum Librana is a single hinged tool; the plastic choices include a modak pair with stated dishwasher-friendly care and a ladoo set with three sizes. The product details do not provide direct durability comparisons, so I would base the decision on stated use, dimensions, piece count, and care information.
Conclusion
For one set that covers more than one kind of sweet, I would choose the SiliFine 2-Piece Metal Ladoo and Gujiya Mold Set. Modak-focused cooks should look first at the Garden Of Arts Ganpati Modak Moulds, especially if dishwasher-friendly care is useful. For ladoo portion variety, the three-size plastic set gives the broadest selection; for two measured metal ladoo sizes, SiliFine’s small-and-medium pair is the more focused alternative. Choose Librana Home if you specifically want a single hinged aluminum tool for modak and gujiya and can work with its small dimensions. My ranking favors fit to purpose: broad use first, then dedicated modak work, portion variety, focused ladoo shaping, and finally the single compact hinged option.
