  • Modak mould to shape the modaks

Method:

  • Remove the seeds from the dates. If you want to save time and energy to make your modaks quick; purchase seedless dates.
  • Take a grinder, put all the ingredients together into it and grind the components until they form a doughy consistency. In case during the process, you find these ingredients are not binding; feel free to add some more dates and make the dough consistent.
  • Once the batter is ready, grease the mould with some maple syrup and take a generous portion of this mixture and stuff inside it. Stuff sufficient enough from all the sides for a perfect shape.
  • After the modaks are shaped; put the modaks in the refrigerator to cool and settle down for about 1 hour or so.
  • Take out the modaks from the refrigerator; place them on the plate and serve!

Recipe note:

  • Modak can be shaped in many ways.
  • This recipe makes 5-6 dry fruit modaks.
  • The time during which to settle the modaks may vary depending upon the refrigerator temperature.

These modaks are not only going to fill your appetite with nutritious value but also lighten up the festival even more. Ayurveda has always given importance to dry fruits as they are rich in minerals, proteins, fibre and vitamins. Consumption of dry fruits enhances energy and stamina and, as they are rich in fibre, it provides better digestion, asserted Dr. Smita Naram.

Enjoy Ganesh Chaturthi with these wholesome and tasty Dry Fruit Modaks with your friends and family!
