#Modak A delicious fusion of rich, creamy mawa and aromatic coconut, these Coconut Mawa Modaks are soft, melt-in-the-mouth and beautifully flavoured with cardamom. The subtle sweetness of coconut combined with the richness of homemade-style mawa makes them a perfect festive treat for Ganesh Chaturthi and special celebrations.
In a non-stick pan, combine milk powder, fresh cream and milk. Mix well to make a smooth mixture.
Cook on low flame, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens and starts leaving the sides of the pan.
Add ghee and powdered sugar and continue cooking for 2–3 minutes.
Add the desiccated coconut, cardamom powder and chopped nuts. Mix well.
Cook until the mixture comes together like a soft dough. Don’t overcook, otherwise the modaks can become hard.
Transfer to a plate and allow it to cool until comfortable to handle.
Grease a modak mould lightly with ghee.
Fill the mixture into the mould, press firmly and demould carefully.
Garnish with a little desiccated coconut and chopped nuts.
