Modak Recipe : Ganesh Chaturthi Recipes

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.
