Previously I had posted 5 different recipes for making Lord Ganesha’s favorite food the Kozhukattai or the Modak.
I found the following video on Youtube.com which shows the recipe for making Modak or the Modagam (called in Tamil Nadu). Modak is a variation of the South Indian Kozhakattai or the Karnataka Kadubu by its shape. Modaks are usually round while Kozhakattais are lengthier.
Modaks are usually made in Maharashtra and other North Indian states (I don’t know which other). You could use the same method shown in the video to make Kozhukkattais as well by just changing the shape of the dough.
In the video, the Modaks are made using a Microwave. However, you can also use a pressure cooker by referring to the recipes from the previous post.
Note: This video is not produced by anyone from this blog. I have added this video from another website (with permission) to help you in your cooking. Original recipe by Sudha Kulkarni from Aais Kitchen

Awesome..!!
Thankx for sharing the video.
Thanks Manjot…I hope you had a great Ganesh festival!
I have learnt that modak should be removed from flame, let it cool and then grind till smooth. Then add saffron and cardamom powder. Then slowly add fine sugar and icing sugar if required. Mix the dough well and using the modak mold prepare small modaks.here i found some mouthwatering indian recipes on indianrecipes.co.in
For Maharashtrian delicacies, Modak should be of semolina and sugar dumplings and for Gujarati ones it should be of jaggery and coconut
Sheuli, Thanks for the very useful information..Perhaps you can share Modak recipes from these states
