A new post for festive season...Ukadiche Modak/ Steamed Modak!!
This is a lovely Chaturthi celebration sweet. I wanted to make it for a long time, but every time, I delayed it. Finally I managed to make it this year. yaaay!!
These are super moist,soft,spongy and pure white sweet dumplings which are specially made for Ganesh Celebrations. One more variation of these I make is deep fried but the stuffing that I use in deep fried are different than steamed one's. But whether they are fried or steamed the final outcome is super-duper good and pleases the God!!
I tried these for the first time and could make them as soft and delectable as possible. The outer cover of my modaks may not be perfect as done by our granny's or mums but the attempt counts and the taste...right!!
So,please try these modak's this Ganesh Festival and take blessing from Lord Ganesha!!
- When making dough, you can add another tablespoon of ghee to the dough, to make it smooth.
- Also, apply little water to hand when kneading the dough.
- When making puri of the dough ball,do not make it too thick or too thin.
- Dip the bottom of modak in water before placing them on the greased plate as this helps to avoid sticking the modak on to plate.
