Flax Seeds Modak
Advertisement
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
