Happy Sankashti Chaturthi 🌺🌱 . . . Today I w Happy Sankashti Chaturthi 🌺🌱 . . . Today I want to take this opportunity and educate my community little bit about Modak. Disclaimer: No offense to anyone here, I am always amazed about so much creative the food blogger community brings in! It takes insane amount of work and planning ♥️ above all Bappa Loves Modak in all shapes And size and Its your Devotion that counts ♥️ So read this with an open mind. . . . I often see people associating the word Modak with only the shape of Modak rather than its actual meaning. The term Modak basically stands for a sweet Dumpling, now Dumpling has 2 things stuffing and outer covering, and it could be steamed and Fired .. even Wiki gives you same definition. So if you are making something of Modak shape which has covering and stuffing its called Modak...! If you are making anything That only Shaped as Modak and made out of Cashew, Khoya, Milk powder, Chocolate or even Oreos etc its still a Fusion dish and you should be mindful of sharing that with broader audience explicitly. Again no offense but educating your audience on the fusion part and no generalizing it as Modak. This helps spreading the right origin of the dish and its important for any food post in my opinion. Kudos to Creativity but sharing the right information is very very important.♥️ . . . What do you think?
