Ukadiche Modak

Rice flour all at once, and mix quickly with a spatula to avoid lumps.

Rest the dough: Cover the pan with a lid and let it rest off-the-heat for 4 to 5 minutes so the flour cooks in the steam.

Knead: Transfer the warm mixture to a large plate (thali). Apply water or ghee to your hands and knead well while it is still warm until it forms a smooth, soft, and crack-free dough. Keep it covered with a damp cloth.
