Today being Vinayaga Chaturthi I had plans to make the
regular modak’s with coconut , sesame and urad dhal. However there was a big no
no for the sesame modak from my kid as she does not like sesame. Hence I
decided to replace it with flax seeds. In a way it was much faster than all
other modak’s. Flax seeds is ground along with palm sugar and cardamom powder as
a powder and mixed with boiling water to form the modak stuffing. It this then
stuffed with riceflour dough and steamed in dried biodegradable leaves (thonnai
leaves) to get a quick and easy “Flax seed modak"
