Instructions:

First of all, we will prepare the layer of the Steamed Modak. For this, boil 2 cups of water in a pan with ghee and half a teaspoon of salt.

Now add rice flour to it slowly. Keep stirring it continuously so that it does not stick or form lumps.

Now cover it and cook for 5 minutes or till the rice flour absorbs the water. Keep the flame of the gas low.

Now turn off the gas and let it cool down. After it cools down, take it out in a plate and mash it once and keep it aside for 10 minutes.

Take milk in a bowl and soak a few strands of saffron in it for a while.

Now prepare the filling for the Steamed Modak.

For this, heat ghee in a pan. Now add grated coconut and fry it lightly. Add jaggery to it.

Cook it for 5 minutes and then add cardamom powder and mix. Now turn off the gas. Now let this mixture cool down as well.

Now make small balls of nariyal or gud ke mixture. Now apply light ghee on the modak mould. Now apply rice flour on the walls of the mould. After this, make a ball of coconut stuffing and put it in it. Now press it well so that it sets well. Make sure that there are no cracks in it.

Following the same process, prepare all the modaks one by one.

Now steam it in an idli vessel for 10 minutes.
