Suggestion :-
★ While rolling the poori, take special care that it is neither too thin nor too thick. If it is thin then it may break while frying, and if it is too thick then the modak will not be able to become crunchy.
★ Do not stuff the modak too much, it can burst the modak. Due to which the stuffing will disintegrate in the oil.
★ Seal the edges well while making the shape of the modak, otherwise the modak will open while frying and the stuffing will get scattered in the oil.
★ After keeping the stuffing on the poori, make sure to moisten the edges with your finger, so that the pleats stick together easily.
★★★ In this way you also make fried modak with your own hands and offer it to Ganpati Bappa and you yourself should also take fried modak as prasad, each bite of which has sweetness, fragrant taste and crispness.
