– Ghee – Khoya /mawa, grated – Powdered sugar – Cocoa powder – Cardamom powder all ingredients below!

step 1

Heat ghee in a kadai. Add the grated khoya/mawa and cook on low heat until it softens and starts melting. This will take about 5 minutes.

Add the powdered sugar and cook on low heat, stirring continuously until the mixture is thick and smooth.

When this mixture is lightly caramelized and starts leaving the sides of the pan, take it off heat. Mix in the cocoa powder and cardamom powder.

Transfer this mixture to a plate to cool. Once it's cool enough to handle, knead it for 30 seconds. Take your modak mold and grease it with ghee.

Break a tablespoon-sized piece of the mawa mixture and make a ball. Place it into the closed mold using the gap at the bottom. Press it very well.

Open the mold, gently remove the modak, and place it on your serving platter. Repeat with rest of the mixture.
