Modak | how to shape modagam using mould – with a short video on how to shape modakam using a mould.

Though I have seen modak moulds in shops, I never bought one for myself. Somehow I am comfortable making modakams in my hands, so never attempted to buy them. Also, my experience with the sweet somas or karanji mould is not so good and so I didn’t buy this modak mould too. When I got it for Raji too I never got one for me. But when my Maharashtrian friends were telling me about this mould a lot and also I got a request from a reader to post the procedure of how to make modak using mould, I thought I will post this recipe. I got these cute little modak moulds from my friend here and tried them at home this weekend. It turned out well and was a good experience making with these moulds too. Check out my other modakam | kozhukattai recipes.

  1. Great post! Appreciate if you could also mention where to buy these moulds in Singapore. I have been reading your blog and raks kitchen desperately looking if you both would mention that . Unfortunately you mentioned everything except that 🙁 . Happy Ganesh chathurthi

    • Haha , Sangi thanks for your words. But unfortunately i didn't explore and go to little india and check out it. My neighbor gave this mould to me. For sure you will get in Jothi stores. If i would have known about it , i would have surely mentioned about this in my post.
