Modak

Heat 2 cups of water in a vessel.Add a pinch of salt and 1 tsp ghee to it.

Let it heat for 2 to 3 mins.Now pour this water into rice flour slowly and keep aside for 5 mins, let it cool down.

Mix and knead into a soft dough.

Heat ghee in a wok and add raisins; add grated coconut and jaggery and mix well.

Add cardamom powder and mix for say 5 mins and turn off the flame.

Now you can make modak using mould or by rolling it into round shape and placing the filling in centre and covering it in pleat form.

I used the mould ; its readily available.

After making the modaks , steam it in a big vessel with 2 cups of water for 10 mins.Keep it aside for cooling before serving
