————————————————————————
Halloween'ing - B.T.S.
It must've been the very first time Ben was home for a holiday that wasn't Christmas or New Year's and God, were you excited.
Sure, losing in Paris sucked but the amount of time you could spend and things you could do together was exhilarating. You were practically buzzing off of the walls with ideas.
Halloween wasn't something you had given much care or notice to since your childhood, but now there was a whole new rush of activities and warmth surrounding the beautiful season, something you welcomed warmly.
how many homemade treats you could make, pumpkin carving with Ben, maybe even dress up together as a couple...
Ben was more eager about the idea of candy (and you in a sexy Halloween costume)
You could drone on and on about how good those Trader Joe Pumpkin Spice cookies were, you never expected yourself to fall for the Pumpkin Spice craze but here you were, talking Ben's ear off.
He rolled his eyes pretending to be nonchalant
even though he'd be reaching for another cookie within a few minutes.
"Just need to check they're not poisoned...are these laced with sumn'?"
A couple of days later, when you and Ben got back from the pumpkin patch, you laid out your carving kit on the island, practically jumping to get stuck in.
Was far from picture-perfect though.
Ben's kryptonite was the damn pumpkin from the get-go.
His shoulders are up to his ears as he leans over his pumpkin, cautiously poking at the hollowed-out insides with a look of pure dread.
You’ve literally provided him with every scooper and tool imaginable, trying to make this as clean as possible, but he’s still staring into the pumpkin like it’s some kind of orange horror show.
He holds his breath, then takes a tentative scoop, immediately gagging at the smell.
“Oh my god…babe, it’s like-” he shudders, hand over his nose, “like mouldy socks and old food had a baby.”
His face scrunches up as he recoils, practically jumping back. “Nah, no way.”
The sight is so absurd you burst into laughter, doubling over as he waves his hands like he’s trying to shake off the memory. "It’s not that bad! See!” you say, holding up a slimy handful of seeds with a wicked grin.
He gags, shuddering and shuts his eyes.
You’re insane if you think this is normal. This pumpkin needs, like, a hazmat suit or something.”
He flinches again, rubbing his nose like he can’t get the smell out of it, even though he hasn’t touched it with his bare hands yet.
He's deadass wearing medical gloves for this.
“Ben,” you gasp between laughs, wiping a tear from your eye. “It’s just a pumpkin. You’re acting like it’s a dead possum or something!”
“Smells like one,” he mutters darkly, gingerly pushing the spoon back toward the orange insides, his hand shaking just enough to make you lose it all over again.
Took maybe like, an hour and a half for him to de-gut the pumpkin
each attempt is met with a new level of melodrama, and by the fourth scoop, you’re clutching your sides, actually having to pause because you can barely breathe from laughing so hard.
He manages to carve out some semblance of a face, albeit a lopsided one with stupid teeth and tiny eyes that look more befuddled than scary.
“See? Told you I could do it,” he says, though his voice is shaky as if he’s barely recovered from a traumatising experience.
Such a diva, oh my god bruh.
You take one look at the pumpkin’s wonky, wide-eyed expression and nearly snort.
It's giving that "dumb ahh pumpkin" TikTok trend.
It’s actually the most ridiculous thing you’ve ever seen.
“Ben, it’s adorable.”
“S’posed to be scary…”
You glance over at him, lips twitching as you pull out your phone, quietly queuing up that TikTok audio. You hold in your laughter as you film the pumpkin with the distorted “pumpkin!” sound blaring, then pan the camera up to Ben.
The look of stunned betrayal on his face as he realises what you’ve done is absolutely priceless, his jaw dropping before he tries to reach for the phone.
The video catches his reaction in perfect two-second glory, and you both watch it back, his stunned face paired with the ridiculous audio, unable to stop laughing.
As you clean up, (Ben finally taking off his surgical blue gloves and scrubbing his hands away like a surgeon) you set the pumpkins outside and place the tealight candles inside, smiling at your actually scary pumpkin and...
that dumb pumpkin Ben made.
It's cute though, side by side, in its own way.
But you can't spend forever admiring them, it's time to make the snacks for your movie marathon tonight!
It was Ben's idea, he had a list of candy to buy and was on popcorn duty but the real star of the show was gonna be the Halloween classic; candy apples.
You both set up in the kitchen, bowls and ingredients spread out, ready to take on the challenge together.
Ben eyes the setup, grinning and rolling up his sleeves like he’s ready to make a masterpiece, even if you’re still suspicious of his pumpkin-carving skills.
The air is still sweet from the pumpkin guts, but with the sugar and cinnamon in the mix now, the atmosphere feels a bit warmer and cozier.
"Just you watch,” he says, giving you a confident wink. “I can make these apples look better than anything you’d find at a fair.”
It's adorable seeing Ben so confident and yet so easy by your side, almost competitive in his ways but not actually challenging or pushing you.
As you dip the apples one by one into the pot of Ben's hot sugar syrup, the colours come out glossy and bright red.
He might be onto something, these are looking pretty good!
As you both move onto the 4th one, you hear a small sizzle, then a loud, sharp hiss.
“Oh—ow, ow! Damn, that’s hot as fuck!”
You grab his hand immediately, your fingers gently running over the reddening spot on his palm.
“Ben! I told you to be careful! Sugar burns like crazy.”
“I knowwwww, I know,” he whines, wincing.
You lead him over to the sink and run cool water over his hand. You can’t help but smile softly as you fuss over him, pressing a soft kiss to his knuckles while the cold water soothes his burn, holding his fingers in your hand as you focus on the pained spot.
“You’re such a disaster in the kitchen, you know that?”
“Hey, I was just…testing the temperature, tha's all.”
You roll your eyes and wrap his hand in a small ice pack for a bit, lingering there in the quiet, the coolness of the ice melting away any sting, until his hand feels better and you’re ready to tackle the apples again.
But no sooner than you start, he picks one up-
idiot
eyeing it as if he’s about to bite down without a second thought.
“BEN, ITS STILL SCALDING PUT IT DOW-”
You grab his wrist moving the semi-hardened apple away before he injures himself more.
"Just testin' your reflexes" he mumbles, laughing a bit.
"Sure."
Ben stepped out to light your pumpkins on the porch doorstep as the sun set, smiling and taking a quick photo, admiring the silly tradition spent together.
The house filled with the scent of caramel, you and Ben settle under a pile of blankets over you both, a bowl of popcorn wedged between your legs, and an assortment of snacks within easy reach for a spooky movie marathon.
He went out for a bit to "go grab something"
only to come back with some stupid clown mask, hiding behind the sofa to startle you.
After you screamed and he apologised with kisses and cuddles (after minutes of laughing and mocking you), you dimmed the lights and settled in, starting with a classic slasher that sets the spooky mood right from the start.
It doesn’t take long for the jump scares to start, and though you brace yourself, there’s one moment that catches you off guard, making you gasp and clutch his arm tightly. Ben laughs, his hand sliding around your shoulders, pulling you closer.
“Spooked already?”
“No! Not scared, just…caught off guard.”
Ben nestles his head against yours, finding himself kissing the top of your head, his arm around you as he rubs soothing circles on your arm.
He's doing all that to distract himself from the jumpscares btw.
Bc he's getting just as startled as you, if not more.
He completely zones out while watching and the jumpscares jolt through him, snapping him back to the movie plot, which then scares him even more - like, wdym there's a killer on the loose and he's literally right beside the main character?!?
But comforting you, in its odd way makes him feel comforted and safe too.
He can't help but find himself enthralled in all the silly traditions and festivities around Halloween just because it's by your side.
As the next one rolls in, he glances down at you and peppers kisses along your hairline, his lips warm and gentle.
Though you’re locked in and wrapped up in the tension of the movie, you feel safe and completely at ease in his arms.
Doesn't last long though.
As the hours creep into the deep of night it seems like the movies get spookier, creepier, and more disturbing, and his thumb rubs soft circles on your shoulder whenever a scene begins, almost instinctively comforting you as he whispers soft reassurances.
You can't even listen to what he's saying, your clammy hands gripping his arm as you squeal, failing to tear your eyes away.
"Oh my god, Be- BEN!! OH MY GOD!"
He just covers your eyes with his hand
"Ben, I can't see"
"Good, it's awful, don't watch this scene"
He feels super cool and smart for pulling that move out btw. “Just another day of protecting my girl”
By the time the credits roll on the last film, you’re tucked against him, drowsy, exhausted and a sugar crash hitting you as the remains of the candied apples and popcorn are strewn over the table.
He glances down, his fingers brushing your cheek, and tilts your chin up for a sweet, lingering kiss.
“Still scared?” he asks in a soft voice.
“Maybe a little,"
“Good,” he murmurs, his smile warm. “Means I get to hold you all night."
What an opportunist.
It's the night before Halloween before you know it, the excitement of pumpkin carving, candied apples, and scary movies behind you.
Ben suggests a late-night drive!
"Let's see the decorations, it's a trip down my memory lane"
He's got that :D face going on, how could you even resist?
The air is cool and crisp as you both pile into his car, wrapped in hoodies and each other’s warmth.
Ben reaches over, like he always does, lacing his fingers with yours as he pulls out of the driveway, his thumb brushing soft, slow circles over your hand.
The neighbourhood is dressed for the season, with yards filled with skeletons, giant spiders, and strings of orange and purple lights that flicker in the dark.
Some houses go all out, with life-size ghost projections, speakers, massive jumpscare decorations and fog machines casting an eerie glow across the lawns, while others keep it simple with a row of glowing pumpkins along the steps.
It’s like Halloween magic has taken over, and the streets are a soft blend of shadows and a warm, festive glow amidst the golden leaves scattered all over.
“See that one? That’s where the Johnsons live. They’ve been doin’ that witch since I was like, I dunno, 10? Never changes. Every year, same decorations.”
Ben points out more houses, telling you which ones hand out full-size candy bars, which houses skimped out and which ones used to scare him when he and Emma were kids.
“You’d be one of those kids who scoped out the best houses before Halloween, wouldn’t you?”
“Absolutely. Me, Emma and my buddies’d race for the full-sized bars, but if we made it to Mr. O’Malley’s house last? He’d run outta candy and give us IOU's for his store instead. That was the jackpot right there,” He laughs, squeezing your hand as he reminisces.
You nod, listening as he goes on, getting lost in the stories, the way his eyes sparkle a bit more with each memory. He talks about the high school haunted houses, how his friends would sneak around, trying to out-scare the actors, and the endless piles of candy that took him weeks to finish.
How Emma wouldn't let him tag along with her and her friends because he was embarrassing her.
His voice softens as he describes the little thrills and mischievous moments, almost as if Halloween itself has this permanent spot in his heart.
He drives slower, letting the headlights illuminate the way as you soak in the charm of it all and the softness of being alone together.
You rest your head against the window, his hand warm in yours, the night stretching on in the glow of the lights and the quiet roads.
“Hard to believe I get to spend it with the love of my life this year,” he says after a while, glancing over with a soft smile, his voice is barely above a whisper.
It's almost like he was saying it to himself, more than to you.
You kiss the back of his hand, holding it there, feeling the warmth of the moment entirely.
As you drive past another house, one with an elaborate ghost setup and an old-fashioned lamp swinging like a haunted porch light, he points, chuckling. “Man, they’d have the best haunted houses. I’d be scared stiff. Now? Not so much.”
"Uh-huh, sure, Ben. I reckon you'd still get scared."
"We can pretend like I’m the brave one.”
“Oh, so you’re brave now?” you tease, raising an eyebrow.
“Only when you’re here,” he says, brushing a soft kiss over your knuckles.
"So cheesy, Shelton"
"And you eat it up every time" he quips back, smiling.
The drive back is peaceful, almost like you’re kids again, wrapped in an innocent kind of wonder and admiration that the holiday brings.
When he finally pulls into his driveway, he parks but doesn’t make a move to get out.
Instead, he rests his head on the seat, just watching you, studying you.
The moonlight catches in his eyes, and he gives you that sweet, sleepy look that’s filled with all the warmth and happiness you could ask for, both of you bathed in the moonlight together.
The next day is Halloween, and no surprise, Ben forgot to mention something:
there's a party...
and he said you're going....
"Ben, what the FUCK are we gonna wear? I don't even have anything remotely close to a costume and-"
"Victoria's Secret model?"
He gets a punch to the arm for that quip. He had that ready and blurted it out wayyyy too quickly.
Once again, he's an opportunist!
Can't fault him! Don't hate the player, hate the game or whatever those finance bros say.
You both end up going to a costume warehouse, which, to no surprise (except Ben's), is practically ransacked and has just a small selection left.
"Wow! These racks and shelves are almost empty!"
"Yeah Ben, it's quite literally Halloween day..."
"Oh, yeah..."
"yep."
By the time you make your way to the ladies' section, Ben’s excitement is borderline overwhelming.
He's tossing costumes in your direction, with each pick, his grin only grows, that voice of his thickening with each comment.
Bet you can't guess what kind of costumes he's looking at!
“Alright, babe, here’s what I’m thinkin’.”
He hands you a bag with a red devil outfit...
...which is basically a glorified bodysuit.
“This, or-wait, wait, wait…”
He reaches back and pulls out a barely-there nurse outfit.
“Maybe this? C’mon, tell me you wouldn’t look hot as hell in it.”
"Oh my god, Catwoman?! Baby...Catwoman! You'd look so fuckin' good as...wait what's this one? Oh! Or, how about a cop? It comes with handcuffs!!!"
He's practically blushing with several skimpy costumes in his arms, a gummy smile wide, and eyes massive like a teenager looking at a Playboy magazine for the first time.
“I was actually thinking… Fiona, from Shrek. The green body paint, prosthetic nose and all.”
His face falls in sheer horror.
He just stands there, slackjawed, like you’ve crushed his biggest dreams.
“Fiona…as in an ogre? He says the word like it’s filthy like he’s never even wanted to say it out loud.
“Yep! I could even add some fake dirt on my body, really make it realistic…”
Ben’s just staring at you, his face still frozen in disbelief. “Naw…nah, you didn’t just say that.”
He waves a hand up and down in front of you like he’s trying to wipe the thought from his mind.
“Babe, we’re supposed to look good, not…swampy.”
With a grin, you roll your eyes and you eventually head toward the dressing room, pulling on the first costume in his pile that he gave you to throw on.
Of course, it's a flirty Snow White costume; a corset with puff sleeves and tiny skirt, knee-high socks and a headband. When you step out, Ben’s mouth drops again, but this time with a grin that spreads across his face.
“See now that is what I’m talkin’ about,” he drawls, sliding a hand around your waist, fingers tracing the fabric. “Got me forgettin’ my own name…”
You roll your eyes, swatting his hand away. “Ben, it’s just Snow White!”
“Just Snow White?” he repeats, shaking his head. “Nah, I’m thinkin’ you’re the finest Snow White.” His fingers drift just a bit too low, making you laugh as you smack his hand away again.
Back in the dressing room, you slip into the next one, a green Tinkerbell dress that’s even shorter and lined with sparkles.
You don’t even have to walk out fully before Ben’s already there, grinning like he’s been waiting for hours.
“Look at you, my lil’ pixie…” He wraps his arm around your waist and pulls you close, lips brushing your ear. “Darlin’, I don’t think I’m gonna let you wear this one outta my sight.”
“Are you even paying attention to the costumes or are you just looking for excuses?” you tease.
You're trying to ignore the butterflies in your stomach as his eyes practically undress you on the spot.
“Alright, alright.” He laughs, backing off as you return to the dressing room one more time to pull on the cop outfit.
His eyes roam over every inch, pausing at the handcuffs dangling from your fingers and the baton tucked into your belt, wrapped around your hips.
“Oh, hell yeah,” he mutters, his gaze darkening. He steps up, his hands back on your waist, fingers digging in a little tighter.
“You’re arrestin’ me, right? Pleaseeee say you’re here to arrest me.”
“You need to behave if we're gonna get out of this store with a costume for us,” you say, laughing as he tugs you closer, his eyes glued to the baton you’re tapping on his shoulder.
“Not a chance, babe.” He grins, leaning in. “Now, why don’t I go grab that badge of yours so I can behave just a lil worse…”
You shove him off with a scoff and an eye roll but that smile on your face deceived your annoyed expression.
You had a little plan schemed, all look you’d picked, your surprise masterpiece:
a head-to-toe roach costume with long, wiry legs, little antennae, and bug eyes on top.
You wriggle into the thick styrofoam costume, taking a deep breath before stepping out in all your creepy-crawly glory.
“Benny?” you call in a sing song voice, trying to keep a straight face. “Got the perfect costume.”
He turns, expecting another flirty outfit, and instead just stands there, blinking.
He’s completely silent.
A whole ten seconds pass before he finally clears his throat, rubbing the back of his neck.
“…Nah, babe,” he says, voice almost pitying. “Nah, this…this just ain’t right. Not right at all.”
You hold up your arms and wiggle the little roach legs at him, the same way you wiggled in the Snow White costume.
“What, it’s not cute?”
“I- baby, look- you know I love you…” he starts, trying and failing to keep from laughing as he waves at you. “But I just can’t- I can’t even look at you right now. That’s straight-up trauma in a costume.” He finally lets out a snort, covering his face with his hands.
Finally, after giving him a good laugh, you change into the last one, the one you’ve both been waiting for.
It’s an angel costume with a touch of elegance: a top made of shimmering gold metal feathers that shine under the store lights, a golden headpiece that makes you look almost ethereal, and long, graceful wings. The skirt flares out in layers of white and gold, making you look like you’ve stepped straight out of a dream.
When you step out, Ben’s quiet, the devilish grin on his face replaced by something a little softer, his breath hitching a bit, his gaze a little more serious as he takes you in.
“Now this,” he says, moving closer, reaching for your hand. “This is somethin’ else, darlin’. You look exactly what you are, an angel.”
“Good enough for Halloween?” you ask, giving a little twirl as the golden wings glint in the light.
“Oh, way better.” He nods, a wicked glint in his eyes. “Cause I’ll be right there as your devil.”
He hands you the bag for his costume, a black shirt, unbuttoned pretty low, black pants, and, of course, dark wings and horns.
“We’re gonna make one hell of a pair.” His gaze drifts over you again, taking in every detail.
“Angel like you with a devil like me might just be our best look yet.”
From the look in his eyes, you know this Halloween party is going to be a night to remember.
He paid for the costumes of course, btw.
Only after making a million innuendos about you being an angel.
"Y'know I thought angels were pure, you can get pretty nasty when you-"
"Shut it."
"Yes, m'darlin' ".
As you approach the house party, the bass thumps in your chest, seeing all sorts of costumes around you, some faces familiar to Ben, childhood friends and college peers alike.
After a few shots, a couple of drinking games and slurred conversations, you and Ben melt into each other in the cramped living room, his arm wrapped tight around your waist, fingers dipping dangerously low.
His other hand slips along the curve of your hip, thumb grazing your bare skin, sending a thrill up your spine.
The dim lights reflect off your golden feathers, casting a halo around you, but Ben’s dark eyes are glued to yours, unrepentant, that devilish grin driving you insane.
How in character!
His lips brush your ear, his breath warm and his words slurred and heavy with a bit too much vodka.
“You’re… somethin' else tonight, y’know that?” he murmurs, words melting into the bass line, his drawl thicker, slow and dragging as he pulls you even closer.
“Got every guy in here starin' at my angel…”
You laugh, tipsy, rolling your eyes. “Pretty sure they’re all lookin’ at you, devil boy.”
He just smiles, his hands sliding lower, pressing you tight against him as he lets out a low laugh. “Naw, they’re jealous,” he mumbles, lips grazing your neck as he speaks. “Cause I’m the only one you’re gettin’ all worked up over…”
You feel the heat rising between you two, the music, the drinks, the dim lights casting everything in a hazy blur.
He pulls you in, tilting your face up, his lips finding yours, messy and rough as if he’s been waiting all night to feel your mouth on his.
His hand cradles your face, fingers slipping into your hair, holding your jaw, tugging you close as he kisses you like he’s been starving for it.
He tastes like dark liquor and something a little sweeter, and when you pull away, you can’t tell if it’s his lips that are wet or yours.
He’s breathing heavily, eyes locked on you, that stupid, sinful grin spreading wider.
“Wanna get outta here?” he whispers, voice barely louder than the music.
You don’t even hesitate, nodding as he takes your hand and tugs you through the crowd, your pulse racing.
His grip is tight, his eyes glinting with that familiar, heated look, and you can’t help but laugh as he leads you out of the house and into the warm Floridian night.
You barely make it to outside, stumbling onto the lawn, before his hands are on you again, pressing you against the trunk of a tree, his mouth crashing into yours. You moan into him, hands running over his chest, feeling the heat radiating off him even through his shirt.
“Oh, Ben…” you breathe, leaning back as he drags his mouth along your neck, nipping and teasing, his laughter low and husky against your skin.
“God, you’re perfect,” he slurs, mouth brushing up the line of your jaw as his hand slides around your waist.
You’re ready for him to take you right then and there, leaves crunching underfoot, your fingers slipping under his shirt, tugging it open just a little further when-
“Wait, wait, wait,” he mutters, pulling back suddenly.
His eyes are wide and hazy, his head perks up as he looks over his shoulder for a moment and blinks, his mouth twisting into a grin as he takes your hand again.
“Hold up. Got an even better idea.”
You blink, trying to catch your breath, utterly dazed. “Wha-…what are you talking about?”
He’s already leading you down the sidewalk, back towards the rows of decorated houses, each porch lit up with Halloween lights and pumpkins.
You stop dead in your tracks, your lips still swollen from his kisses, realising he’s actually serious.
“Ben, you’re not-no way, no shot.” You laugh, almost disbelieving as he walks up the first driveway, holding your hand and looking back with that same goofy smile.
No way.
“Trick or treatin'!” he says, completely earnest, already reaching for the doorbell.
He's looking at you all innocent, like he wasn't being handsy with you just 2 minutes ago.
You stare at him, utterly floored. “Ben, you’re seriously…you’re just gonna go trick-or-treating? Right now? Like this?”
“Hell yeah!” he says, as if this is the most normal thing in the world, shrugging.
“I’m in costume, you’re in costume…what’s stoppin’ us?”
Before you can even answer, the door swings open, revealing an elderly woman with a massive bowl of candy. She takes one look at Ben in his black wings, the gold feathers shining around you, and lets out a cackle of laughter.
“Now, I didn’t expect trick-or-treaters this age tonight!” she says, eyes bright with amusement as she holds the candy out. “You two are just adorable. D'ya need a bag, hun?”
Ben grins, holding his hand out. “Thank you, ma’am. I mean…Halloween’s all about free candy, right?”
His boyish cheeky charm works like a treat, even on the old ones. smh.
With a warm chuckle, she drops a couple of candy bars into his hands before handing him a bag before she waves goodbye.
Ben shoves the candy in, already heading down to the next house, practically skipping with that same childish grin.
“C’mon, m'angel, let’s go score some more!”
You can’t help but laugh, shaking your head as you trail along beside him.
The night takes on a new light, the alcohol still buzzing through you both as you hit every house on the block, each one adding more candy to Ben’s rapidly filling bag.
He grabs an empty trick-or-treat bag left on a stoop, offering it to you with a dramatic flourish, and before long, you’re both stumbling from house to house, holding hands and giggling like you’re kids again.
Ben feeds you chocolate in between houses, his eyes soft and a little drowsy, that irresistible grin plastered on his face.
The two of you wander holding hands, his devil horns slightly askew, his shirt still messily half-buttoned as you both talk in low, slurred voices.
Somewhere along the way, you both end up sitting on the curb since your feet hurt.
You both go digging through the bags like kids, surrounded by a mix of Reese’s, Milky Ways, and Twix bars.
“Still thinkin’ you’re too old for trick-or-treatin’?” he teases, popping a Snickers in his mouth.
“Fine,” you admit, laughing, leaning into his side. “Guess I can kinda see the appeal.”
He just grins, sliding his arm around your shoulders, pulling you in as the streetlights flicker above you, pressing soft kisses to your hair.
In the quiet night, surrounded by candy wrappers and the warm glow of Halloween night, you’re perfectly happy, just you, your devil, and a bag full of treats.
There was nothing sweeter than spending Halloween with Ben <33

The popular seafood dishes include Bangda (mackerel) fry, Surmai (Kingfish) curry, Kolambi (prawn) masala, and Tisrya (clam) masala. The fresh catch of the day is transformed into a culinary masterpiece with the use of aromatic spices like Malvani masala, a blend of red chilli powder, turmeric, coriander, cumin, and other spices, which lends a unique taste to the dishes.
The cuisine of malvan is not just limited to seafood it also boasts a variety of vegetarian dishes that are equally tempting. Usal, a delicious curry made from sprouted beans and Solkadhi, a refreshing drink made from kokum fruit and coconut milk, is the perfect accompaniment to balance the spices and heat of the dishes.
Another noteworthy aspect of Malvani cuisine is its diverse range of street food. The streets of Malvan come alive with the aroma of dishes like Malvani bhang, a spicy puffed rice snack, Kothimbir Vadi, a savoury coriander fritter, and Malvani masala dosa, a spicy twist to the classic South Indian dish. These street food delights offer a quick and flavorful culinary experience.
Without desserts, everything seems incomplete right? Malvan is famous for its sweet treats. The region is known for its delectable Malvani malpua, a pancake-like dessert soaked in sugar syrup and garnished with nuts and cardamom. Other popular sweets include Naralachi vadi (coconut fudge) and Ukadiche modak (steamed rice dumplings filled with jaggery and coconut).
Malvan's cuisine is a delightful blend of coastal flavours, aromatic spices, and fresh ingredients. Whether you are a seafood lover or a vegetarian, there is something to suit every palate. The vibrant street food, tantalizing seafood dishes, and mouthwatering sweets make Malvani cuisine an experience that will truly jolt your taste buds and leave you craving more.

Then fill that hollow part with stuffing and cover the outer part using rice flour dough then demould modak gently.
If you don’t have modak mould then you can prepare with hand.
Take a small rice dough ball and flatten it with hand to make outer thin layer. On that layer put stuffing.
Make pleats of outer layer with index finger and thumb and then get pleats together to make a bundle or potli.

Do not over cook the jaggery stuffing other wise it will become hard and chewy.
If dough mixture is hot apply some water on palm and handle it.
Keep outer layer of modak in medium size, if it is too thin then it get cracks and if it is too thick then it will not taste good.
