Modak is a sweet dumpling that is very popular all over
India. A modak recipe is also one of the essentials in many Hindu religious
ceremonies like Ganesh Chaturthi. A modak cab be various flavours. The most
popular among them being plain one. But here I am going to share the recipe of
kesari halwa modak with the kesari halwa. You can make them with the filling of
coconuts but this is my innovation recipe.
During Ganapati Festival I tried this innovative idea n made
modaks with the yummy kesari halwa and stuffed them with chopped chocolate and
chopped dry fruits. Very new avatar of simple modaks and the natural colour.I
have this in my todo list last year itself, but finally made this today for
Ganesh Chaturthi in 2016. This tasted quite awesome. I have made this using
me Kesari Halwa recipe. To give a twist
to the modaks stuffed them with some grated chocolate and chopped dryfruits. You
can easily make a modak at home as you need very little ingredients and time
for it. And even children would love this sweet dumplings. Here is simple
