• Heat a nonstick pan. Add 3/4 cup freshly grated coconut, 1/4 cup grated jaggery, 1 tbsp ghee, 1/4 tsp cardamom powder & dry fruits. Mix well and cook this coconut-jaggery mixture on a low flame till the mixture thickens. Keep stirring to prevent burning. Sweet inner filling for Modak is ready.
• Add salt as per your taste to Modak Atta. Add 1 cup Modak Atta to 1 cup boiled water and knead to make soft, non-sticky dough using ghee and flatten it with your fingers to a round disc or a shallow bowl shape, pinching its edges to make pleats. Use ghee/oil in your palms, while flattening. Put the filling in the center and join the edges.
• Keep the prepared Modak in a steamer pan. Cover the pan with a lid and steam for 10 to 15 minutes on a low flame. Switch off the flame and rest for a while. Modak is ready.
