To Make the Modaks

- Take out lemon sized balls of the dough and shape it into a small roti with your fingers. Apply oil to your palms so that the mixture doesn't stick to your hands.
- Fill the small roti with the coconut filling leaving some space for folding it.
- Pinch the outer covering with your fingers into small pleats and then fold them up. Join them and cover the filling completely.
- Make all the modaks like so and keep them aside.
- For cooking, fill 1/4th of the steamer with water. Cover it with the lid. If you are using a pressure cooker, don't put the vent valve.
- Let the modaks steam for 10-15 mins and they are ready. You can also serve them with ghee.
