Скачать или смотреть Ganesh Chaturthi Coconut-Jaggery Modak Recipe [Ancient Madurai kitchen]

It's time to revel in the festivities and scream "Ganapathi Bappa Morya!" for all to hear! From wearing new clothes to decorating our mandaps with lights and florals, Ganesh Chaturthi really sets the tone in terms of festive spirit!

And let us not forget Modaks! There is no Ganesh Chaturthi without the sweet, flavourful steamed goodies, and we have just the recipe for you!

Ingredients required:

Rice Flour
Grated coconut
Jaggery
Ghee
Water

Preparation:

Add ghee to a pan and roast grated coconut until it starts to give off the rich nutty smell. Add in crushed jaggery and continue to cook till it dissolves and completely coats the grated coconut. Take it off the heat and allow it to cool down.

Mix a teaspoon of ghee, rice flour and water to make the dough. Knead well until the ingredients are combined and stick together to form a ball.

Take the Modak mould and grease the insides to ensure that the modaks can be easily removed.

Press in small pieces of the dough into the mould to create the outer shell, leaving the inside hollow for the filling.

Stuff the center with the coconut jaggery filling and seal the opening with more dough. Remove the modaks from the mould to prepare them for steaming.

Set the modaks in a steamer with space between each of them so that they do not stick to each other.

Remove the modaks after serving and set them on a plate!

And there you have it! Simple and easy modaks that taste delicious!
