Ingredients Rice flour - 1 cup Gluten-free flour - 1 cup Salt - A pinch Ghee - 1 tsp Milk - 1/4 cup Fresh coconut, shredded - 2 cups Jaggery - 1 cup Cardamom powder - 1/4 tsp Dates - 5 Mawa - 250 gm Powdered sugar - 1/2 cup Cashew nuts - 10 Almonds - 10 Nutmeg powder - 2 tsp Saffron milk - 1/4 cup
Step 1 Add rice and gluten-free flour into a bowl. Add salt, and ghee and mix well. Add milk.
Step 2 Add water and knead the dough like a chapatti dough. It should have a medium consistency.
Step 3 Roast the coconut for about a few minutes until the moisture in it is removed. Add jaggery, and dry fruits and mix well.
Step 4 Take a small ball of dough and make it even. Press the ball a little between your palms and roll it nicely. Take the puri in your hands and pinch the edges to make petals. Pinch the petals up to the bottom so that the modak gets a nice shape. Fill the stuffing and close the petals. Transfer the modak into the steamer.
Step 5 Sprinkle a little saffron milk on the modak. Heat up the water and transfer the pot containing modak on it. Close the lid and steam the modak on medium heat for some time.
