Cooking Steps
For rice flour dough:
Step 1 :
In a wide vessel, bring 1 cup of water to a boil.
Step 2 :
Add 1 tablespoon of ghee, a pinch of salt, and a few strands of saffron.
Step 3 :
Add rice flour to the boiling water, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Step 4 :
Stir until the mixture forms a smooth dough. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 5 :
Once the dough is warm, knead it gently until smooth and pliable. Cover and set aside.
Prepare the stuffing:
Step 1 :
Heat ghee in a pan over medium heat.
Step 2 :
Add finely chopped dates, desiccated coconut, poppy seeds, and finely chopped cashew nuts.
Step 3 :
Stir the mixture until it becomes dry and well combined, making sure the dates soften and the coconut is lightly toasted.
Step 4 :
Add cardamom powder, mix well, and remove from heat. Allow the stuffing to cool completely.
For modak wrap:
Step 1 :
Shape the Modak: Take a small portion of the rice flour dough and flatten it into a disc. Place a small ball of the prepared stuffing in the centre of the disc. Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the stuffing, sealing it to form a smooth ball.
Step 2 :
Steam the Modak: Place the shaped modaks in a steamer lined with a banana leaf or parchment paper to prevent sticking. Steam the modaks for 10-12 minutes, or until the outer covering is cooked through and slightly translucent. Allow the modaks to cool slightly before serving.
Step 3 :
Tip: You can use shop-bought rice flour or make it at home.
