( I wanted to add in coarsely mashed boiled potatoes, and mixed veges, but ran out of it )



Once the dough has risen, punch down the dough again.
Now on lightly floured place, divide the dough into portions,
as how big you want. Take a portion, flatten the dough, put in the filling,
as you will do for modak. Close well and put them on a greased tray.

Give them enough space to rise and expand again.
Once they are well risen, bake them in a per heated oven, 190 degrees C , till
they are cooked for about 20 minutes, or until the top gets golden.


NOTE: If you are using the veges, 2 boiled mashed potatoes.
2 cups of diced veges, like carrot, beans, peas and so on.
