Here’s The Recipe For Ukadiche Modak

Ingredients:

For the modak dough:

• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 tsp ghee
• Salt
• 1 cup rice flour

For the coconut filling:

• 1 coconut
• 2 tsp ghee
• 1.5 tsp poppy seeds
• 1 cup grated jaggery
• 1/2 tsp cardamom powder

More ingredients:

• Ghee
• Saffron
• Haldi leaves

Recipe:

• Start preparing ukadiche modak by making the dough. Take a pan and add milk, water, ghee, and a pinch of salt.
• Let the mix simmer.
• Once done, add a cup of rice flour and mix well to make a soft and smooth dough. Make sure to knead gently and keep it aside for 10-15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, start cooking the flavourful filling. Take a separate pan, add ghee, and saute grated coconut. Add grated jaggery and cardamom powder and sprinkle poppy seeds too. Mix all the ingredients well until you get a thick-consistency coconut and jaggery stuffing.
• Once the dough and the filling are ready, start shaping the sweets. Grease your palms with ghee, flatten a small portion of dough, stuff with coconut filling, and seal the ends perfectly.
• Arrange all the modaks on haldi leaves placed on a tray. Add saffron strands to each of these sweets and steam.
• Lastly, drizzle ghee on ukadiche modak and relish them.
