Modaks aka Kozhakattai

MODAKS are a sweet treat (and I have an incurable sweet tooth) to celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi in India.

It's a little round potli (a little parcel) made of rice flour with a sweet filling of jaggery, coconut and cardamom for flavour.

I was inspired to try them out for the first time on Sept 19, Ganesha festival day, thanks to my good friends, Shobha and Chitra, who specialise in vegetarian cuisine. 

I'm yet to perfect the art of shaping them beautifully, but taste-wise, they were excellent. 


Do check both my friends' website / blog for the recipe:
