Jilledu Kayalu, also known as Modak in other regions, is a traditional sweet dumpling offered to Lord Ganesha during Vinayaka Chavithi (Ganesh Chaturthi). The name "Modakapriyaya," one of Lord Ganesha's 108 names, signifies his fondness for Modak, making this sweet an essential part of the festival's offerings.([Chakris Kitchen][1])

Ingredients

*For the Filling:*

1 cup grated coconut
1/2 cup jaggery
1–2 pods of cardamom (powdered)
1 tablespoon ghee([Chakris Kitchen][1], [Pandit Poojalu Services - Poojalu.com][2], [Cookpad][3])

*For the Dough:*

1 cup rice flour
1 cup water
A pinch of salt
1 tablespoon ghee or oil([Chakris Kitchen][1], [Cookpad][3], [Sri's Kitchen][4])

Preparation Steps

1. *Prepare the Filling:*

In a pan, heat ghee and add grated coconut. Sauté for 2 minutes on low flame.
Add jaggery and mix well until it melts and combines with the coconut.
Add cardamom powder, mix thoroughly, and let the mixture cool.([Cookpad][3])

2. *Prepare the Dough:*

In a vessel, bring water to a boil. Add salt and ghee.
Reduce the flame and add rice flour gradually, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Once mixed, cover and let it cook for a few minutes.
Transfer the dough to a bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it cool slightly.([Gowri's Indian Recipes][5], [Chakris Kitchen][1])

3. *Shape the Modaks:*

Take a small portion of the dough and flatten it into a circle on your palm.
Place a spoonful of the coconut-jaggery filling in the center.
Fold the edges over the filling and seal them to form a dumpling shape.

4. *Steam the Modaks:*

Place the prepared modaks in a greased idli plate or steamer.
Steam for about 8–10 minutes on medium flame.
Once done, allow them to cool slightly before offering.([Chakris Kitchen][1])

These sweet dumplings are not only a festive delicacy but also hold cultural significance, symbolizing devotion and the removal of obstacles.([Indian Healthy Recipes][6])
