1

In a pan, melt 1 teaspoon of ghee and add jaggery, coconut, cardamom powder, and salt. Keep stirring on medium heat until the mixture is dry. Set the filling aside to cool.

2

In a pot, bring water to a boil. Lower heat. Add salt, ghee, and rice flour. Mix well. If using a stand mixer, knead for 5 minutes until dough is soft. If using hands, let dough cool a little before kneading it.

3

Divide the dough into 18-21 equal parts. Shape them into balls. Using your hands, gently shape each ball into a shallow bowl.

4

Spoon a little filling inside the dough and close the dough by shaping it into a modak.

5

Steam modaks for 10-15 minutes.

6

Serve modak with generous amounts of ghee.
