Make Modak this Ganesh Charurthi….here is a recipe.

Ingredients: 

For the Cover

·        1 Cup rice flour

·        1 tsp ghee

·        1 cup water

·        ½ tsp oil

·        A pinch of salt

For the Filling

·         2 cups shredded fresh coconut

·         1/2 tsp. cardamom powder

·         1 tsp. roasted poppy seeds

·         1 tsp. rice flour

·         1 cup Jaggery (Gur) or Sugar

Preparation:

For the Filling

• To make the filling, combine and cook coconut and jaggery together on medium heat. Stir continuously until they are mixed properly. Do not overcook.
• Add cardamom powder, roasted poppy seeds and 1 teaspoon rice flour to it and cook for some time. The filling is ready now. Remove from the heat and allow it to cool.

For the Cover

• Boil 1 cup of water. When it has reached a steady boil, add ghee, salt and oil.
• Now immediately add the rice flour and stir quickly so as to remove all lumps. Cover with a lid for some time. Remove the lid & stir again & again, cover again. Note: This has to be done very carefully. The dough should be neither too sticky nor too dry.
• Now remove pan from the heat. Take off all the mixture on a flat plate. Knead it thoroughly while hot. Make soft dough.
• Divide this dough into small balls.

To make the modaks

• Note:It is best to make the modaks when the dough is slightly warm.
• Grease the palms of your hands well. Take a ball of dough. Flatten the dough to form a cup shape.  Place about 3/4^th teaspoon coconut filling into this cup. Dip thumb & index finger in the oil & make 5-6 small pinches side by side on the outside edges of the cup. Bring them together on top and join to form a peak. Your modak is complete. This should look like a whole garlic pod.
• Like this, prepare all modaks. Spread a damp cloth onto a flat round sifter and arrange all the modaks onto it. Place the sifter in a steamer and cover. Steam for about 15 minutes. Use a big size saucepan or pressure cooker if you don't have a steamer. Do not put the whistle if you use the pressure cooker.
