HOW TO MAKE MODHAKAM

Take one ball, press generously and make a cup shape.  Grease your palm so that the dough will be flexible to make the shape.  Pl find below pictures for the same.  Once you made the shape take a spoon of pooranam and gently close all sides of the dough.  Now the Modhak is ready.






 For our temple festivals my families makes the below type kozhukattai and I named as Chandrakala Kozhukattai since the shape is looks like that :-)  Find below pictures for the same.

Make a cup shape put one spoon of pooranam in the middle then close both sides.  Make small twists from the start to end.  It will give chandrakala sweet shape :-)
