September was the busiest month with all the travelling, a troublesome laptop and almost no blogging.
There were so many things I had planned for this Festival but could do justice to half of what I had planned; I am sure I will catch during the next Ganesha Festival. My laptop woes still continue, but I am trying to work around it and focusing on the positives.
As promised sharing my modak recipe with you all and gearing up for October – the heat, the festivities’ and my younger sister’s visit!

Steps

1

Grate the coconut, I needed half of a large coconut to get I cup of grated coconut.
2

Slightly toast the poppy seeds and set aside, next grate the jaggery.
3

Now mix grated coconut, grated jaggery, poppy seeds and cashews together and set aside. I like medium sweet filling, if you want it sweeter add another tablespoon of jaggery.
