Talniche Modak!!

गणपती बाप्पा मोरया!!
Ganesh Chaturthi is the festival celebrated in honor of the God Ganesha. This is also known as Vinayak Chaturthi. This is an important festival of Maharashtra.
And today is the first day of "Ganesh Chaturthi", so made Bappa's favorite sweet "Talniche Modak" as Prasad.

Ingredients:
For filling/Saran
3 - 4 tablespoon ghee 
2 Cup dry coconut, grated
1 1/2 Cup Jaggery, grated
1/2 Cup Sesame Seeds (Roast it and roughly grind it)
2 teaspoon Cardamom powder

 For Outer Cover:
1 1/2 Cup wheat flour
2 - 3 Tablespoon hot oil
Salt to taste

Method:
In a bowl add wheat flour and salt (as per taste). Heat oil and add in the wheat flour. Add water as per your need and knead the dough. Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the Saran/ Filling for Modak.
 

Heat Ghee in a pan. Add coconut, saute it for 2 minutes. Add jaggery and mix well. Add Sesame seeds and Cardamom powder and saute it for another 2 minutes. The filling is ready.

Take a small size ball and roll it into small puri. Place filling on it. Start folding the edges. Gather all edges together and seal it nicely. Just like that follow the same steps to make all Modaks.

Now heat enough oil for frying. Once oil is hot, deep fry the Modaks on medium heat until it turns brown.

Modaks are ready!!

Tips:
You can adjust the sweetness according to your taste.
You can use fresh coconut instead of dry coconut.
You can use all purpose flour instead of wheat flour.
