About Pillayarpatti Modagam Recipe
Modakam is a sweet dumpling dish from India that is popular in many Indian states and cultures. According to Hindu belief, it is one of Lord Ganeshas favourite dishes and is thus used in prayers. A modaks sweet filling is made of freshly grated coconut and jaggery, while the outer soft shell is made of rice flour or wheat flour mixed
with khava or maida flour. Modakam comes in two varieties: fried and steamed. The steamed version is frequently served with ghee.
Modakam is considered the Hindu deity Ganeshas favourite sweet. In Sanskrit, he is known as modakapriya (one who enjoys modak). Modak means small part of bliss and represents spiritual knowledge. During Ganesh Chaturthi, the puja is usually concluded with the presentation of 21 or 101 modaks to Ganesha. Modaks with rice flour shells are commonly used for this purpose, though wheat shell versions are also used. Local businesses outside Ganesh Temples in India typically sell pre-packaged/ready-made modaks.
Modak, also known as modakam or kudumu in Telugu, kadubu in Kannada, kozhakatta in Malayalam, and kozhukattai in Tamil, is a Marathi word. Its a rice or wheat flour dumpling with a filling of grated coconut and jaggery.

Ingredients for Pillayarpatti Modakam Recipe
Moong Dal / Pasi Paruppu :
While moong dal melts away in the pot, mung beans retain their shape even when cooked to softness, making them ideal for saucy curries with vegetables or other larger legumes. They also have a more vegetal and beany flavour than buttery moong dal.
Jaggery :
Its a healthier natural alternative to refined sugar that tastes just as good. Though it has an earthy flavour, you won’t notice it in the cake. Depending on its composition, jaggery can taste like fresh cane juice, maple syrup, caramel, or molasses. The unrefined natural sweetener is available in a variety of colours, including light amber, golden brown, and dark brown. Jaggery is known by many different names,
including gur in Urdu, gud in Hindi, and vellam in Tamil.
Ghee :
Ghee aids in the rebuilding of the intestinal mucus lining and the smooth elimination of toxins. So eating Modaks may help you get rid of your constipation.
