Happy Ganesh Chaturti to everyone. Modaks are normally made to offer as prasad to Ganesha.
Ingredients (Makes 8)
1/2 cup maida
a pinch salt
2 tsp oil
water to knead dough
Filling
125 gms dry coconut
94 gm jaggery, Gur
6 cashews
6 Almonds
15 - 20 raisins
1/2 tsp cardamom powder
Method
- Make a stiff dough using maida, salt, oil and water. Cover and keep aside for 1/2 hour.
- Roast the almonds and cashews. Chop and keep aside.
- Heat the coconut and jaggery together. Once the jaggery melts and the color is uniform, remove from heat.
- Mix the cashews, almonds, raisins and cardamom. Keep aside to cool.
- Make a lime size ball of the dough. Roll it to a small circle. It should rolled really thin.
- Place 1 tbsp of the filling in the center.
- Rub some water on the edges of the rolled dough.
- Fold from one side to cover the filling and form a semi circle. Press the edges well.
- Using a fork press along the edge to get a nice design and helps in sealing.

This looks gr8 medha,but i have one confusion,in my knowledge,modaks are cone shaped or potli shaped Peda,these are sort of gujiya isnt it?
I am unaware of the lingo i guess
Anyways enjoyed the recipe and would try to squeeze out some time to make these lovely prasad offerings ,since there is Ganpati all around here,and have to visit so many of them in next few days!

hello, came here from Bhawana's looking for paneer recipes. You have a a very pretty blog, and thanks for the nice collection of sindhi recipes!
Hi, I am VG from Australia. This looks good....it's like a 'sweet' version of a curry puff. Thanks for sharing.
The modaks look yummy, like Karanjis made in Maharashtra
Surprissingly we refer to these as Gujiya in North, Karanji in Maharashtra n Nevhri in Goa. But as they say whats in the name...I love them whatever they may be called :)
This is so nice.. !! Will try sometime.. In A.P we make something similar to this one..

P.S - Nice pic in profile.
Lord Shree Ganesh is god of knowledge and the remover of obstacles. Lord Ganesha is worshipped, or at least remembered, in the beginning of any auspicious performance for blessings and auspiciousness.
