Mix the dry fruits like cashew nuts, almond, raisins, pistachio and any other dry fruits.
Grind all the dry fruits. Make coarse powder.
Mix shredded coconut, mawa/khoya or dried milk and sugar. Grind them into a smooth paste.
Take out into a large bowl. Add cardamom powder and ground dry fruits. Mix well.
If you feel mixture is little loose and difficult to hold shape, keep the mixture in refrigerator for 1/2 an hour.
Now make the shape of modak with your hands or mould.
