  1. Most often, banana is used in the preparation of these modaks, or muliks as some konkanis refer to them. Some folks also cooked them using jackfruit. One day, my neighbor handed me a couple cashew fruits to eat. I ate them raw, but the flavor was rather different from that of other fruits. Cashew Guide
