Bansiwala Ganpati Modak
Modak is considered to be the favourite sweet of the Hindu deity, Ganesha. From it, he gets the moniker modakapriya in Sanskrit. The word modak means "small part of bliss" and it symbolises spiritual knowledge. Modaks made with rice flour shells are often preferred for this purpose, although wheat shell versions are also used. Local businesses outside Ganesh temples across India usually sell pre-packed/ready-made versions of modaks.
Key Features:
- The sweet filling inside a modak consists of freshly grated coconut and jaggery
- the outer soft shell is made from rice flour or wheat flour mixed with khowa or maida flour
Key Ingredients:
- Rice flour
- wheat
- coconut
- jaggery
Tips:
- When cooking coconut and jaggery together, it is necessary to cook until all the excess moisture evaporates and begins to dry up. However, don’t overcook.
- Always use fresh desiccated coconut.
- *1 cup of rice flour usually needs a little more than 1 cup of water to make the perfect dough.
- To make sure the mixture is without cracks and non-sticky, sprinkle little warm water and knead it again. This gives it a nice texture. Kneading the dough properly is the trick to make soft and crack-free modaks.
Shelf Life:
- 2 or 3 days in cooling temparature
