Many see modak<\/em> making as a daunting task, but for Rohit Mane<\/strong> it is an “easy recipe” that anyone can execute if they approach it with passion.<\/p>\n Rohit is your regular engineer lad who got interested into cooking, watching his mother’s passion for it. But he learned the art of creating modak<\/em>s, or ukadiche modak<\/em> (steamed modak<\/em>) to be precise, from his mother’s friend, whom he calls Nandini Kaku, about three years ago.<\/p>\n He finds puttering about the kitchen to be meditative therapy that calms him and brings immense joy. His favourite aspect about cooking is how the small details contribute to the delicious final product.<\/p>\n The complete focus, that making modak<\/em>s requires, is why Rohit adores this recipe. Now a pro at Maharastrian cuisine, Rohit’s crowd pleasers are Ravayache Goad Appe (sweetballs made from suji<\/em>) and fish fry. But crafting modak<\/em>s is what Rohit likes doing best during each Ganesh Puja season and his handiwork is loved by all in his family.<\/p>\n Even Rohit’s Kaku is mighty impressed with his modak<\/em>s, and she tells him that he makes them better than her!<\/p>\n His secret tip is rather simple :). “Put in all your heart and enjoy the process because the recipe has all the necessary steps in place.”<\/p>\n Rohit’s Ukadiche Modak<\/strong><\/p>\n Serves: 4<\/strong><\/p>\n For the stuffing<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n For the dough covering<\/strong><\/p>\n Method<\/strong><\/p>\n For the stuffing<\/em><\/p>\n For the dough<\/em><\/p>\n For the modak assembly<\/em><\/p>\n To steam the modaks<\/em><\/p>\n WATCH: How to make Ukadiche Modak<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n
