Ingredients
Dough
- 1½ cups Rice Flour
- 1 cup Water
- ¼ tsp Oil or clarified butter
- ¼ tsp Salt
Filling
- 1 cup Grated Coconut Fresh
- 1 cup Jaggery Powder – Panela – Gur
- 1 tsp Ground Cardamom Powder
- ¼ tsp Ground Nutmeg Powder
- ½ tsp Poppy Seed
- ½ tsp Oil or clarified butter
Instructions
Filling
Take a pan and add oil or clarified butter to it. While keeping the flame low, add poppy seeds.
As soon as the seeds start cracking, add the grated coconut, jaggery, nutmeg, and cardamom powder. Cook the mixture on a low flame for 8-10 minutes or till the jaggery melts.
Turn off the flame and set aside the filling.
Dough
Pour water into a pan and add clarified butter and some salt. Turn on the flame and let the water come to a boil.
As the water starts boiling, reduce the heat and start adding rice flour little by little. Keep stirring while you add the flour.
Once you add all the rice flour, turn off the flame and cover the pan for 5 minutes.
Then pour the dough onto a large plate and start kneading it. The dough would be hot, so apply some water to your hands and knead.
Once you knead the dough nicely, make small balls out of it. The dough balls should be smooth.
Modak
Take a ball and press it with your fingers to make a round disc.
Place a tablespoon of sweet filling at the center of the circle. Then start gathering the edges towards the center.
Pinch the edges together and seal the Modak. You can remove the extra dough from the tip.
Place the Modak in the greased tray of the steamer. Cook the Modak on high flame for 10-15 minutes.
Once steamed, you can take them out and pour some clarified butter on them.
