Modaks or laddus are very much loved by Lord Ganesha.These are served as bhog after Ganesh pooja or aarti to seek his blessings.There are numerous variations to prepare them.The authentic ones are prepared with rice flour and stuffed with coconut, nuts and jaggery. These modaks have a perticular shape which comes with a mould.
I have prepared modaks with mava/khoya and nuts.This is an easy recipe for modaks which I have shaped by hand. Not much time is required to prepare them. These are prepared with only a few ingredients which are easily available in our kitchen pantry
