 #sweets #modak #ganpati_special #traditional_recipe #homemade #jaggery
 
Ingredients: 1 and 1/2 cup wheat flour, 1/2 tbsp. ghee, 1/2 cup grated jaggery
 
Preparation time: 15 min
 
Recipe:
1. TAke the flour in a mixing bowl and add ghee to it. Mix it well when dry. Now add water slowly to knead a very tight dough. Keep aside.
 
2. Heat a flat pan on medium to low gas flame.
 
3. Using a little amount of ghee, massage the dough and then make a ball of it. Using a rolling pin, roll out a bread of 1 cm thickness approx.
 
4. Put the flattened bread on the pan. Turn over after 15- 20 sec. Press it using a kitchen napkin. Then turn over after 30- 40 sec. Do this for 5 min until the bread gets cooked (golden brown) from both the sides. Ensure to keep the gas at low - medium flame only.
 
5. The bread will become crisp. Turn off the gas and take off the bread in a platter. Break it into pieces and shift to a mixer pot. Add jaggery and churn well so that they get blended together. If you prefer a sweeter taste, add more jaggery. Check the consistency by taking a small portion in hand trying to bind it in a ball. If easily doable, then take off the mixture in a bowl. Else add a tsp of ghee and some more jaggery and blend again. Ground well.
 
6. Now use a mould of your choice add portion to it press tightly and remove it by tapping. If you do not have moulds, then make round balls with your hands.
 
7. The modaks are ready :)
