Dry nuts Modka/Karigadbu

Ganesha festival's must-have is modka and karigadbu. It was mom's suggestion to make it healthier by adding dry nuts to the fillings. 

Here's a quick recipe of it...

Dough:

Maida: 2 bowls

Few spoons of ghee

Salt to taste

A pinch of soda

Water

Filling:

Dry nuts of ur choice: almond, pista, walnut: half bowl (coarsely powdered)

A handful of Raisins

Kadlepappu: powdered 3 spoons

Dried coconut gratings: 1 bowl

Sugar: 1 bowl

Elachi: 2-4 for added flavor

Frying:

Sufficient oil for frying

• Mix the filling ingredients together and keep it aside as shown in below picture. 
• Mix the dough by adding water and bring it to a consistency little harder than poori. 
• Make small balls and flatten them using a rolling pin(almost the size of poori).
• Fill the flattened dough with dry-nuts-filling and seal them to desired shape.
• Deep fry until they turn golden brown.

They are now ready to be served.
