Question 2

2. Why did my modaks turn out hard instead of crisp?

Accepted Answer

It happens when too little ghee is used to make the dough, or when the dough is overkneaded and left to rest too long. For the flakiest texture, always knead a stiff, soft dough with the right amount of moisture.

Question 3

3. Why did the modak filling leak out while frying?

Accepted Answer

The filling was too wet or warm when it was stuffed, or the edges weren't sealed tightly enough. If you are a beginner, always use a mould.

Question 4

4. Can I bake fried modak instead of deep-frying?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can bake the modak instead of deep-frying. Brush each shaped modak with oil or ghee, then bake in a preheated oven until golden brown.

Question 5

5. How long do fried modaks stay fresh?

Accepted Answer

Fried modak stays fresh for 2 to 4 days if stored properly. Always let the fried modak cool, then store them in an airtight steel or glass jar.
