Ukdiche modak are loved by all and really don't need any introduction as such.
Till day I have rarely come across a person whose face hasn't lit up at the idea of eating hot ukdiche modak with pure ghee dripping over it.

Method to make modaks :
Take a lemon sized ball and flatten it into a thin round puri shape with fingers.
If you find using fingers difficult then you can also roll it into a round puri.
Now take this puri on your palm and make pinches with your fingers all over the edges as shown in the video.
Now carefully bring all the edges close together and form a modak shape as shown in the video.
Spread a wet muslin cloth on a plate and keep the modaks on the plate.
Keep this plate in a steamer or a pressure cooker without the pressure.
Steam for half an hour.
While serving serve hot with ghee.
