Jackfruit seed modak | Jackfruit seed Kozhukattai - Cooked in Thonnai leaves

Jackfruit is still available in Singapore though I am not sure about other parts of the world. Since we have some huge fan’s of jackfruit at my home , I will always buy them whenever I see them in Fairprice shop. Due to this we also have a lot of jackfruit seeds at home.  Cooked Jackfruit seeds is combined with palm sugar and cardamom powder and made as a modak stuffing. It this then stuffed with riceflour dough and steamed in dried biodegradable leaves (thonnai leaves) to get a flavorful “Jackfruit seed modak"

Flax Seeds Modak | Flax Seeds Kozhukattai in Thonnai

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"
