Step 2: Gradually add grated coconut and jaggery. Mix well and cook on low flame for 7 to 9 minutes until the moisture from the jaggery dries up.

Step 2: Now on low flame, gradually add the rice flour while stirring continuously. Make sure that all the rice flour is properly mixed with the water.

Step 3: Turn off the flame, cover, and keep it aside for 10 minutes.

Step 4: On a large plate, take the dough and knead it until it becomes smooth. If the dough appears hard, or dry, add a little warm water and continue kneading.

Step 5: Make small balls from the dough and roll them until smooth in your palms.

Step 6: Now create a round shape by flattening dough balls with your fingers. You can apply ghee or oil to your palms while flattening.

Step 7: Add the coconut and jaggery filling in the centre of the flattened dough.

Step 8: Bring together all the edges of the dough and join them to enclose the filling. Remove any excess dough from the top and shape and taper the top portion of the modak with your fingers.

Step 9: Grease a steamer with a bit of ghee or oil and place the shaped modak, leaving some space between them.

Step 10: While placing the modak in the steamer, ensure the water is hot. Cover the pan and let it steam for 10 to 15 minutes over medium flame.

Step 11: Once it is steamed, drizzle a little saffron milk on top and your Ukadiche Modak is now ready to be served.

But one savvy mum has shared just the hack to help speed up the process in the mornings. The mum, who goes by the name of Azure MacCannell on TikTok, has revealed a super time saving trick.

1989 Taylors Version Vault Titles Are Here Just Decode 89 Puzzles

Just a few weeks out from the release of her fourth rerecorded album 1989 (Taylor's Version) -- which drops on October 27 -- Swift, 33, is doing what she does best: leaving Easter eggs for fans to decode. This time, she's paired up with Google for a word puzzle game that will seemingly help uncover the titles of the record's five vault tracks -- the bonus songs that never made the final cut of the original album. Starting Saturday, September 16, a closed blue vault began popping up when googling Swift's name. Clicking on the vault brings up scattered letters in a word jumble accompanied by a hint to help solve the puzzle. At first, the only clue was, "My name is Taylor and I was born in...," with "1989 Taylor's Version" being the answer. Beginning on Tuesday, September 19, however, the puzzles began to expand. The hint "Blank Space" leads to "Nice to meet you," while other answers include "Got a haircut," "S...

33 Crore Gods (Devi / Devtas) of Hindus

33 Crore Gods of Hindus For the believers of God, it is an accepted faith across the globe that God is one. Hindus too believe so, but then there remains a question often shaped as a mockery over Hindus about the various practices of worship rendered to innumerous God in their faith. And this question is often thrown by people, who are philosophically and religiously recognized. How come Hindu religion has 33 crore Gods? Is it sensible at all to believe and practice this? I have a question – How can one decide what is sensible and what is not, particularly when none of those great thinkers have attained perfection in realization of God, none of them have seen God, none of them have heard God. There are numerous instances where religion, religious books and their beliefs have tried to define God. Criticism is an easy thing to do but we have coins with two sides always. Realization of the positive side and its practice is not only hard to recognize but difficult to accept as well. Critic...
