Coconut modak with Raisins Filling/

Kids Special

Hi Friends,

After making so many recipes to offer Prasad to Ganesh ji, on the last day i wanted to make modak for him. As i tried earlier also coconut ladoo with condense milk that were super delicious but i was not satisfied with the color and shape. I wanted real modak shape in white color. So i chose coconut and used my new bought mold (which i bought only for Ganesh ji :). 

I was quite happy to see the results. Modak came out so tasty. It was shining white with a dash of kesar. I added the nice crunch by using normal granulated sugar instead of powdered sugar. I loved them and i hope Ganesh ji also like it. 

Ingredients:-

Coconut grated/shredded- 1 cup

Milk powder- 1 tbsp

sugar- 3/4 cup

Milk- half cup

Ghee- 1 tsp

Cardamom- 4

Kishmish-2-3 tsp for filling

Method:-

Gather your ingredients

take a wide pan or kadai and add ghee in it

heat it on medium flame

now add shredded or grated coconut

 start roasting it

within a minute it will be done

now throw in milk powder

and sugar

all added

now crushed cardamom seeds

and at last the milk

mix everything well and keep on stirring

within a minute it will be done

grease lightly your modak mold

i have use a ice cream scoop for measurement, you can take any spoon  

take a scoop of dough

put it on the hand

flatten it a bit

keep few raisin pieces

close from all sides 

roll it

now put it in the mold

close the mold

remove extra dough which came our from sides

open it

Yeeeeeeeah

i was delighted to see my modak 

all done

small dough left at last so i made this small peda

all modak dotted with kesar

Ready to offer Ganesh ji

modak offered to Ganesh ji before his visarjan

Notes:-

1. Milk powder will do binding, gives texture to modak, but if you want to skip it then you can go ahead but then taste and texture will be different.
2. Instead of cardamom you can try kesar/saffron.
3. You can make them round shape too but on the last day i wanted to offer white modak so i used the mold and shaped them as modak.
4. You can use other dry fruits for filling but i think raisins makes the perfect filling. You can make them without filling too. 

HOPE YOU LIKE IT

Within 15 minutes/

Ganesh Chaturthi Special

Hi Friends,

I am here again with a modak/Ladoo recipe which is more easier then my earlier post of Rava Coconut Ladoo which i made day before yesterday. If your ingredients are ready it will take hardly 15 minutes to make all the ladoos. You can increase the quantity and get more Ladoos. Just keep in mind that if you are in a humid or hot place then keep them in fridge as they will be spoiled. Keep them in fridge and consume within 2-3 days. But i assure you that it will not last that longer :). So here we go with the recipe. 

Ingredients:-

Coconut Shredded- 1 cup+1 tsp for garnishing

Condense milk- 1/2 cup (less or more)

Milk- 1 tbs

Ghee/Clarified butter- 1 tbsp

Kesar/Saffron- few threads

Raisins or any other dry fruit- 1 tbsp

Quantity - You will get 10 medium size ladoos

Method:-

Take your all ingredients 

Soak saffron strands in 1 tbsp warm milk

Mix it and leave aside for few minutes

Take a Kadai/Pan 

add shredded coconut

keep one tsp separate for garnishing

start roasting it

 it will turn brown in 1-2 minute

add condense milk

mix well

keep one tsp saffron milk separate and  

add rest of it in the cooked coconut

keep on stirring 

it will start leaving the sides then add raisins and remove from heat

Let it cool a bit

You can use all these ingredients for garnishing

When it is still warm take a portion

No need to grease your hands 

as it already has so much oil/ghee in it

Shape it like a modak

you can shape them in round shape too

Now keep it in the shredded coconut

sprinkle some coconut on it

Now time for final touch

dip your finger in saffron milk

and dot it on the top

lay a kesar/saffron strand on it

Modak are ready to offer to Ganesh ji

Notes:-

1. You can use freshly grated coconut. I used store bought packet of shredded one.
2. Shape Ladoos when its still warm else it will be difficult to shape them.
3. It is optional to cover or sprinkle shredded coconut for garnishing. I did only one modak as my family did not like it.
4. You can use any of the dry fruits like cashew, almonds etc.
5. Instead of making modak shape you can simply roll them and make simple ladoos.
6. Please keep them in fridge (not freezer) and enjoy within 2-3 days.

HOPE YOU LIKE IT

Love
