How to make Modhagam, Modhagam, Modhagam Recipe, Pilaiyarpatti Modhagam

Happy Ganesh Chathurthi dear friends ๐Ÿ™‚ Here is a very traditional recipe from my place which is prepared for Lord Ganeshaย This is not the same as the Modak which is prepared in North India. It is a must that we prepare for Ganesh Chathurthi in my place. If anyone knows about Pillaiyarpatti ย in Tamil Nadu where there is a famous Ganesh temple, these modhagam’s are served there on a grand scale.
