Ukadiche Modak

Ingredients:

For the Outer Covering:

  • 1 cup rice flour
  • 1 cup water
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp ghee (clarified butter)

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup grated fresh coconut
  • 3/4 cup jaggery, grated
  • 1/2 tsp cardamom powder

Instructions:

  1. Heat water in a pan, add a pinch of salt and 1 tsp of ghee.
  2. Once the water boils, lower the heat and add the rice flour. Stir continuously until it forms a dough-like consistency and leaves the sides of the pan.
  3. Remove the dough from the heat and let it cool slightly. Knead it into a smooth dough when it's still warm.
  4. In a separate pan, melt the jaggery on low heat until it becomes a syrup. Add the grated coconut and cardamom powder. Cook until the mixture thickens and comes together. Remove from heat and let it cool.
  5. Take a small portion of the rice flour dough, flatten it into a small disc, and shape it into a cup with your fingers.
  6. Place a spoonful of the coconut-jaggery filling inside the rice dough cup.
  7. Carefully seal the edges of the dough to form a modak shape, ensuring there are no cracks.
  8. Repeat the process for the remaining dough and filling.
  9. Place the modaks in a steamer and steam them for about 15-20 minutes until they become translucent.
  10. Allow them to cool slightly before serving. Ukadiche Modak is ready to be enjoyed!

Note: You can use a little ghee to grease your hands while shaping the modaks to prevent sticking.
