Modak Recipe

Ingredients
  • 3 cups Rice Flour
  • 6 cups Water
  • 6 tsp Oil
  • 4 cups Grated Coconut
  • 2 cups Sugar or Powdered Jaggery
  • A little Milk
Method
  • Bring the water to a boil and add oil into it for the outer covering. Take off heat.
  • Now add the rice flour, little by little to avoid lumps and cover the mixture and let it cool.
  • When cool, knead it well into dough with a smooth finish in such a way that it should sparkle.
  • Now take the coconut and Jaggery / sugar in a heavy-bottomed pan for the stuffing. Add milk. Keep on low flame with stirring. Stir and take off heat.
  • The mixture should be fairly dry and turn a shade darker. Now make balls with the (covering) dough.
  • Flatten them on the palm or on a surface into a circle. Place the stuffing in it and cover it completely with the dough.
  • Fold the edges tapering to the centre. Now steam-cook the modaks in a cooker for 15 minutes until done.
