Renaming to Kozhukkattai[edit]

Untitled[edit]

The Tamil version of Kozhukkattai is more common since Ganesh Chaturti is more famous in Tamilnadu than in Kerala. The google search is a testimony to the popularity of Kozhukkattai over kozhukatta. Kozhukattai returns 40,400 results while Kozhukatta returns 2700 results with a suggestion "Did you mean: kozhukattai?"

Within the Kozhukattai and Kozhukkattai, the former is more phonetically correct as there is a repeat of 'k' sound in the middle. rams81 (talk) 04:15, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Kozhukkatta is more correct kozhukattai is the tamil varient because in tamil an 'i' is added at the end like vadai, bondai etc. Also Google search returns the name as Kozhukkatta -- Ranjithsiji (talk) 15:09, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merger of Modak to this articls[edit]

Basically Modak and Kozhakkattai are the same and is offered as a prasad to Lord Ganesh in India. Given that the article on Kozhakkattai is more developed and is created a month earlier than Modak, I suggest merging the later into the former. Of course, there can be redirects set from all Indian equivalent terms. rams81 (talk) 17:25, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merging will be correct and expand the article to include all info. However, photo of maharashtrian modak can be added, which look totally different and are constructed beutifully. It is considered an accomplishment of the cook to have maximum numbers of small petals merging into a really small and delicate tip. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.241.27.213 (talk) 06:59, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In Kerala Kozhukkatta is entirely different Item than Modak. You cannot find this thing in a temple in Kerala. It will not be used as a prashad or something. You can buy this thing from local coffee shops in Kerala. So A merge will result some good confusion and conflicts. -- Ranjithsiji (talk) 15:00, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
