Add chocolate chips to the mixture instead of chocolate powder.

Adjust the consistency by adding 2 tbsp of extra water to make it smooth.

Heat a kadai or non-stick pan on medium heat and pour in the mixture.

Add the chocolate chips and stir continuously to prevent burning.

Incorporate 1/2 tsp of coffee powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.

Stir in 1/2 can of vegan condensed oat milk and cook on low to medium flame until the mixture thickens.

Let the mixture cool for a few minutes, then knead it gently to make it smooth.

Shape the modaks using a mold, adding molten chocolate and sunflower seeds in the center if desired.

Seal the modaks and release them from the mold.
