Fried Modak | Talniche Modak | Wheat Modak Recipe

September 5, 2019

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

What have I been doing for past two months? Couldn’t plan this recipe in line with festival? what was wrong? I am asking all these questions for myself. Because it’s  already three days past Ganesha Chaturthi and I am posting fried modak recipe for you guys. But I take the time to console myself saying Lord Ganesha’s idol is still being worshiped for few more days. So this post is not  totally out of time. What you say?


Fried modak

I was on vacation till the last day of August month and some how I couldn’t plan fried modak ahead of time. I love the idea of stuffing variety of mixtures and preparing cute little modak for Lord Ganesha. The nuts, coconut, khova, peanuts (remember peanut modak?) any such delicious thing can easily get in to modak as stuffing. So it’s a kind of cooking innovation.

In this fried modak, the outer skin is made out of wheat flour. And very little amount of maida flour is used to get the crispy-ness. Though I skipped the schedule of festival, you guys are always humble enough to support me right. Thank you  and Wish you happy Ganesha Chaturthi.

Notes

  • Including ghee to the dough helps to turn modak crisp.
  • While preparing stuffing, add water carefully and ensure it does't turn watery. 
  • Modak should be shaped and sealed properly otherwise stuffing will come out while deep frying.
