Ukadiche Modak

🇮🇳 Indian

Ganpati's favourite steamed modak, coconut-jaggery heart in soft rice shell. Ghee, sugar, patience — the three ingredients in every Indian celebration. Serve at room temperature, cut small — sweetness needs no size.

Prep 29 min Cook 32 min Serves 4 Medium

Ingredients

  • Salta pinch
  • Ghee3 tbsp
  • Sugarto taste
  • Rice Flour1 cup
  • Grated Coconut1 cup
  • Jaggery3/4 cup, grated
  • Green Cardamom1 tsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Measure everything before lighting the flame; there is no pause button mid-cook.

  2. 2

    Combine the rice flour with the jaggery in a heavy-bottomed pan and begin cooking over medium heat, stirring constantly.

  3. 3

    Keep going until the mass pulls away from the pan and glistens; the colour should deepen a shade.

  4. 4

    Season the mix with the grated coconut and green cardamom, reserving some nuts for the top.

  5. 5

    Tip into a greased tray, level the top, sprinkle nuts, and let it set before cutting into diamonds.

Chef's tip

Don't crowd the pan; steam is the enemy of the browning that builds flavour.
