Ingredients

Rice flour 150 gms
Salt as per taste
Ghee 1 tbsp
Sugar 1 tbsp
Water 1 cup
Dry coconut grated 150 gms
½ cup jaggery
Poppy seeds 1 tsp
½ cup milk
Cardamom powder ½ tbsp
Nutmeg 1 pinch
3-4 tbsp milk powder

Directions

In a bowl add 1 cup water and add 1 pinch of salt, little sugar, and 1 tbsp ghee. Let the water boil nicely and remove it from the flame. Sieve the rice flour and add while the water is still hot, cover with a lid, and keep aside.
In a pan add 1 tbsp ghee, and poppy seeds, and roast it. Add grated coconut, jaggery, milk, and cardamom powder. Add a pinch of nutmeg powder, and milk powder and mix well. Our modak mixture is ready.
Take the rice flour mixture and make it into a dough, add water or milk to bind the dough. Take the dough and make a small ball. Now flatten it as shown in video and use the rice flour or ghee to make the shape of modak.
Fill it with the modak mixture and fold it to cover the edges. It should form the shape of modak. Repeat the same process with the rest of the dough.
Now take an idli streamer or a big kadai. Add some water and keep a stand and then keep a steamer pan. Oddy Ecobak non-stick liners can be used to coat our Steamer vessel. This will help the steam to seep into our modaks and also Oddy Ecobake is non-sticky and hence steaming the modaks becomes a hassle-free process.
Let it cook for 10-12 mins and check whether it is cooked. Remove the modak and now our Steamed modak is ready to serve.
