    If not sprinkle very little milk and mix.

    PREPARATION OF MODAKS:

    1. Open the modak mold and grease it lightly with ghee.


    2. Close the mold. From the hole at the bottom push in a some rice dough.

    3. Using wet fingers press the dough to the sides of the mold.

    4. Remove any excess dough that comes out. You should have a hole in the middle to fill it with the
    jaggery filling.

    5. Take a tiny ball of filling and stu it in by pressing it in through the hole.

    6. Take a small piece of dough and flatten it into a small thin circle.

    7. Cover the bottom with it.

    STEAMING:

    Notes

     If you find the rice dough is drying out then add a few drops of water or milk and knead the dough.

    My steaming device is a big pan with a lid. I place a stand in the middle of the pan and place my
    perforated colander over it. You can use a idli steamer or your rice cooker steamer too.
