Modhaka/Kozhakkattai/Kudumu
Modaks have been an integral part of Vinayak Chatuthi as these are Lord Ganesha's favorite. Modak looks like momo's and are stuffed with a mixture of coconut and jaggery. There are two types: Fried modak and Steamed modak, but still the stuffing will be the same for both of them. Here I have shared the recipe of Fried modak. The procedure of preparing this is very simple, you just need to master the method of sealing the modaks.
Ingredients: 1cup maida(all purpose flour)
1tbsp chiroti rava
a pinch of cooking soda
1cup grated coconut
1cup grated jaggery
2tbsp poppy seeds(khus-khus)
1tsp cardamom powder
1/4cup chopped dry fruits(cashew/raisins/almonds)
1tbsp ghee
oil for deep frying
Method:
1)In a bowl add maida, chiroti rava, cooking soda and knead into smooth dough like poori's by adding required water. Allow it to rest for 15mins.
2)In a pan heat ghee and roast all the dry fruits until they turn golden brown and keep aside.
3)In that same pan cook together coconut, jaggery and poppy seeds till the jaggery melts completely
and the mixture comes together. Add cardamom powder, fried dry fruits and mix well.
4)Make small lemon sized balls out of the dough and roll them into small poori's. Now place a
spoonful of coconut mixture in the centre of the poori and fold together the edges to form the shape
of the modak, repeat the same for all the modak's.
5)Deep fry all the modak's one by one till they turn golden brown and crisp. You can store this in an air tight container for a week.
