Ingredients
- 2.5 cups Khoya, grated or crumbled
- 3/4 cup Desiccated coconut
- 1/2 cup Icing sugar
Filling
- 1/2 cup Marzipan
- 1/4 cup Desiccated coconut
Instructions
Modak Filling
- Mix desiccated coconut with marzipan and keep it aside.
Modak Shell
- Over medium heat, cook grated mawa (khoya) with icing sugar and desiccated coconut.
- In about 5 to 7minutes, the mawa will melt, forming a thick paste, and start to leave the sides of the pan.
- At this point, take it off the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Take your modak mold and very, very lightly grease it with ghee.
- Break a small piece of the mawa mixture and make a ball. Place it into the closed mold using the gap at the bottom.
- With your finger, press the mixture around the mold edges so that it takes the right shape, and you have a hollow cavity in the center.
- Place a small portion of your coconut filling in the cavity.
- Press and pack it tightly, and then, using some more of the mawa mixture, close the base of the modak.
- Open the mold, remove the modak, and repeat the process till you use up all the mixture.
- Your modaks are now ready to serve. Enjoy!
