Hi Gayatri

It is a long time since I have heard anyone call a laddoo 'modak'! As Ganesha is a Modak/laddoo loving God, I can understand your desire to make them for His birthday. The recipes that I have on my site are:

1. Sesame seed laddoo http://www.mamtaskitchen.com/recipe_display.php?id=10059

2. Besan laddoo http://www.mamtaskitchen.com/recipe_display.php?id=10083

3. Churma laddoo http://www.mamtaskitchen.com/recipe_display.php?id=12951 & http://www.mamtaskitchen.com/recipe_display.php?id=12810

4. Gond laddoo http://www.mamtaskitchen.com/recipe_display.php?id=10519

5. Peanut or moongphali laddoo http://www.mamtaskitchen.com/recipe_display.php?id=10172

6. Semolina laddoo http://www.mamtaskitchen.com/recipe_display.php?id=10210

Take your pick!

As this is an interesting question and may be useful to other Hindus, I will post it on the forum, in case someone else is also looking for recipes.

Best wishes

Mamta
