Dry Fruit Fried Modak Recipe - Ganesh Chaturthi Special Recipes

Dry Fruit Fried Modak Recipe - Crispy deep-fried dumplings stuffed with nuts, coconut and jaggery filling.

Dry Fruit Fried Modak is a delicious and easy modak recipe for Ganesh Chaturthi festival. I have given a twist to the traditional Fried Modak Recipe where we stuff the modaks with jaggery and coconut filling. Instead of the traditional filling, I am using nuts, jaggery and desiccated coconut filling to make these modaks more delicious.
