Day 160 of the Cut

Busy day today! My mom was fasting so lunch was vegetarian. She made modaks to break her fast in the evening. At the gym today I trained back and biceps. Went for a walk in the evening. Day 160 was a success!

Modaks are sweet dumplings made with rice flour dough and coconut and jaggery filling.

Modaks are broken and filled with ghee when served.

    I think they’re similar to the neoris, not sure of the spelling 😁, the Gians make?

    1. Ajinkya Rane Avatar

      Yea similar to neori but in this there are no poppy seeds and the shape is different. The dry version of neori is called Karanji which is made during diwali.

        Oh I’ve had that one. They’re tasty but too big and sweet for me, im not a sweet person.

        1. Ajinkya Rane Avatar

          Ohhh learn something new everyday 😉😆the only savoury versions I can think of are pizza pockets and jamaican beef patties.
