Elevating Culinary Artistry
I had been meaning to make modak for the longest time, but those beautiful pleats always intimidated me. With Ganapati festival around the corner, I finally gave them a try, adding a little piece of home to the traditional recipe — a toasted sesame, coconut and jaggery filling inspired by Assamese til pitha. Soft, fragrant and wonderfully comforting, these modaks brought together two regional traditions in the most delicious way.
