How To Make Rava Modak

Rava Modak

1. Heat a pan on medium heat and add the grated coconut. Stir in the grated jaggery and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the jaggery melts and blends well with the coconut.

2. Add cardamom powder to enhance the flavour, and cook for another minute. Once done, set the mixture aside to cool.

3. Take water in a saucepan and add oil along with salt. Bring it to a rolling boil. Once the water is boiling, turn off the heat.

4. Add the semolina (rava) to the hot water. Stir continuously with a wooden spatula or spoon until the semolina is fully absorbed by the water. Mix thoroughly, then place the pan back on low heat and cook for 5 to 6 minutes.

5. Stir continuously to prevent the rava from sticking and burning. After five minutes, turn off the heat.

6. Grease your hands with ghee and take a small portion of the dough. Flatten the dough to form a small disc and place a spoonful of the coconut-jaggery filling in the centre.

7. Gently fold the edges and shape them into a modak, sealing the top. Repeat the process for the remaining dough and filling.

8. Your delicious Rava Modak is ready to be served.
