I make modaks every Ganesh Chaturthi. It reminds me of the festivities in India – wonderful Ganpati songs blaring from loudspeakers, visits to friends and relatives, hogging on wonderful treats like modaks, alu-wadi, etc. Anyways, I learnt the art of making this favorite dish of mine from my grandmother. Every year I would sit with her (and mom, of course) to craft the coconut and jaggery stuffing and steamed rice flour into a few modaks. I have heard people make modaks of two layers – a one-piece wonder. Hats off to them!
I gifted the mister a DSLR camera. The pictures are a part of the learning. Hope you enjoy them!
