An indulgent artisan dessert, beautifully crafted with premium ingredients and presented with exquisite garnishes for a memorable finale.
Ingredients
- • 1 cup rice flour
- • 1 cup water
- • 1 tsp ghee
- • 1/4 tsp salt
- • 1 cup freshly grated coconut
- • 3/4 cup grated jaggery
- • 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
- • 1 tsp poppy seeds
Preparation Steps
Cook the coconut and jaggery together until the jaggery melts and the mixture dries; stir in the cardamom and poppy seeds and cool.
Boil the water with the ghee and salt, tip in the rice flour, and mix off the heat; knead the warm dough until smooth and pliable.
Keep the dough covered with a damp cloth and shape a portion into a cup with an oiled palm.
Place a spoonful of coconut filling in the cup, then pinch and pleat the rim closed into a pointed modak.
Arrange the modaks on a greased plate and steam them for 12-15 minutes until the surface turns glossy.
Serve the ukadiche modak warm, drizzled with a little melted ghee.
