Ganesh Chaturthi 2024: 5 easy steps to make Modak at home

Prepare the Filling: Combine grated coconut, jaggery, and cardamom in a pan. Cook until the mixture thickens. Allow it to cool.

Make the Dough: Mix rice flour with water and a pinch of salt to form a smooth, pliable dough. Steam the dough for a few minutes to make it soft.

Shape the Modak: Divide the dough into small balls. Flatten each ball into a small disc, place a spoonful of the filling in the center, and seal the edges to form a modak shape.

Steam the Modaks: Arrange the shaped modaks in a steamer lined with banana leaves or parchment paper. Steam for about 10-15 minutes until they are cooked through.

Serve and Enjoy: Let the modaks cool slightly before serving. They are a delicious offering for Ganesh Chaturthi and can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
