Roll each portion in a ball and flatten it out with your palms. Take one flattened disc on the rolling board and keep rest covered with the kitchen towel.Roll it using a rolling pin into circle. Keep the edges little thinner than the center part.Put some stuffing in the center. Apply some water or milk to the edges with a pastry brush or with your fingertips.Now take it into your palm.Start pinching the edges. And then pinch them together to seal it properly.After all are done see that u make the oil hot to deepfry the modaks. As you drop the dough in the oil, it will come on top after a second or two, this is the right temperature to fry the modak.Fry in the oil till it becomes golden brown and crispy from all the sides.
It is offered to Lord Ganesh during Ganesh Chaturthi festival as prasad
