    • 3 g Ghee (plus extra for greasing)
    • 150 g Jaggery Powder
    • 100 g Grated Coconut

    • 10 tbsp Rice Flour
    • 236 ml Water (for dough)
    • 500 ml Water (for steaming)

    Instructions

    Modak is a traditional Indian sweet dumpling, often associated with Lord Ganesha. These steamed or fried treats have a rice flour or wheat dough exterior filled with a sweet mixture, usually made from jaggery and coconut.

    1. 1

      Prepare the Filling Ingredients

      Add ghee and poppy seeds to The Upliance jar. Select sauté mode on medium heat for 30 seconds. Then add jaggery powder, grated coconut, and cardamom powder.

    2. 2

      Cook the Filling

      The device will now cook the mixture on low heat for 10 minutes with automatic stirring ensuring the jaggery melts evenly without burning. Remove filling and let cool.

      Prepare Dough and Assemble

      Clean jar, boil water, and mix with rice flour to form a dough. Grease palms, shape dough into dumplings, stuff with the cooled filling, and seal.

    4. 4

      Steam and Serve

      Add 500ml water to The Upliance jar. Place modaks on the steamer tray. The device will steam on low heat for 10 minutes. The dish is ready.
