Talniche Modak


     Fried modak (Talniche Modak)

 


              
               Talniche modak is stuffed, fried sweet dumplings. This is special in Maharashtra because they offer modak to Ganpati bappa. This is must during Ganpati Utsav. Every year me and my Sister in law makes more than 100 modak. It really takes time and patients to make hundreds of modak.

               The preparation of fried modak is very easy with outer cover is made of all purpose flour and stuffing is mixer of dry coconut, sugar, cardamom powder, dry fruits and some like to add roasted semolina (rawa or suji). Some fry it in ghee (clarified butter) or any cooking oil. They are called Talniche modak.

              If you get a chance to eat fried modak ever in restaurants out of India do try it. Or if you are planning to visit India put this in your must eat list. otherwise if you have a friend who belongs to Maharashtra, India then don't hesitate to ask him/her about modak. He/she will be very surprise and happy to make modaks for you.


               Happy eating foodies!!! 😊

Maharashtra and Karnataka border is called Bidar.                    Millet flatbreads are popular accross India. But this dharwadi bhakri is little different as it can be stored for months. Usually me & my daughter like this with special peanut chutney made in mortar and pestle with perticular type of peanuts called Solapuri peanut.                   Vangyachi bhaji is brinjal curry made with special spices paste which is dark in colour that's why it is called kala masala. Kala means black. Dry cocon...

Mirch ke Tipore

                      Mirchi ke Tipore, basically less spicy green pepper's side dish. This is one of the most favorite side dish even my 6 year old loves a lot. So you can guess the hotness of the peppers.                         This dish I came across when I was scrolling through some random videos. Name itself is so catchy so I started my search. After watching tons of recipe video and talking to my mom I figured out the authentic recipe and it was a real hit.
