Last week being Vinayaga Chaturthi I had plans to make the regular modaks with coconut , sesame and urad dhal. However there was a big no no for the sesame modak from my kid as she does not like sesame.
Hence I decided to replace it with flax seeds. In a way it was much faster than all other modaks. Flax seeds is ground along with palm sugar and cardamom powder as a powder and mixed with boiling water to form the modak stuffing.
It this then stuffed with rice flour dough and steamed in dried biodegradable leaves (thonnai leaves) to get a quick and easy Flax seed modak

I love to cook the most authentic way. Most of my recipes are cooked either in claypot or kalchatti / soapstone. They are extremely beneficial as they retain the nutrients. Before cooking a recipe in these vessels I do in-depth research and make sure it is doable in any modular kitchen.
