Now spread the dough ball lightly and fill it with coconut-jaggery filling. Place it in a modak mold and shape it. Modak can be steamed after taking it out of the mold. Offer the prepared modak to Bappa.

Modak with dates and dry fruits

If you want to make modak without much sugar, then modak prepared with dates and dry fruits can be a good option.

For this, take deseeded dates and add almonds, cashews, walnuts or other dry fruits and seeds of your choice and grind them coarsely. Heat this mixture lightly, mix well and let it cool.

Now pour the prepared mixture into the modak mold, press it and give it the shape of the modak easily. In this way delicious dates modak will be prepared.
