The best part? The coconut filling is flavoured with caramel. The amazing and rich tastes and texture will make your taste buds dance.

This recipe is so easy to prepare that you might want to include your kids to make this experience more enjoyable. In the past, I have made a few variations of modak and this has to be one of our family favourites.

Since I came to know what traditional modak looks like and how to make them, I had making them on my bucket list. One day I'll go about it! While I was watching a video on youtube how to make traditional modak, a thought came to my mind to make Cashew Caramel Modak.

For the outer layer ( exterior) instead of rice flour, I thought of using cashews and for the filling, I picked caramel instead of jaggery. And guess what? They were a huge hit, I made about 15 modak and they were gone within a couple of hours.

I think you'll love this unique take on the familiar Modak filled with coconut, here is a quick and easy recipe to make super tempting and toothsome Cashew Caramel Modak at home!
