Modak is a sweet dumpling that is offered to Lord Ganesha. Without it, celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi is incomplete. There are many types of modak available in the market. They are traditionally prepared with rice flour and with a coconut-jaggery stuffing.
However, let me share a healthy modak recipe made of Buckwheat flour and jaggery. I flavored it with cardamom powder and saffron. Very easy to prepare, they can be made in a very short time. The end result are these yummy and healthy Modak that can be offered to Lord Ganesha on this festive occasion. So check out the step by step pictorial recipe to prepare this divine festive treat.
- 1 tsp. ghee
- 1 cup kuttu Atta
- 1/2 cup jaggery
- 1/4 tsp. cardamom powder
- a pinch of saffron
- 2-3 tbsp. water / milk or as required
- few chopped pistachios
Heat ghee in a pan and add the kuttu atta. Roast on a low flame for 2-3 minutes or till light golden in color.
Switch off the flame and add the cardamom powder, pinch of saffron and jaggery. Mix everything well.
Transfer the mix to a bowl. Add water, little at a time and knead it into a tight dough.
Grease a modak mold with some ghee and add few chopped pistachios. Then fill it with a small portion of the prepared dough. Press it with your fingers to make the modak.
Now gently demold and arrange it on a serving plate. Make similar modak with the remaining mix.
Wow!!! tasty and healthy modak is ready to be offered to Lord Ganesha.
