🧾 Ingredient Notes
Here is the pic of ingredients and you’ll need only 6 ingredients. You’ll have healthy yet delicious dry fruits modak ready to offer to Lord Ganesha.
Nuts: I have used almonds and cashews which are most commonly used in Indian sweets. But for a variation, you can add other nuts like walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts. Dates: I have used California Medjool dates which are bigger in size compared to sticky dates available in India. Water: Since my dates are not that sticky and moist, I have added little. But you may or may not need any. It depends on how moist your dates are. Ghee: That’s what most commonly used in our Indian desserts. But if looking for a vegan option then use coconut oil.
