Step 1
To prepare this Delicious Modak Recipe, take a pan and add grated coconut in it. Dry roast the coconut and keep it aside. Now take another pan and add 1 cup water in it. Bring it to a boil. Then add jaggery and allow it to dissolve. When the jaggery mixture starts to thicken, add the roasted coconut.
Step 2
Mix well and bring the flame to medium-high. Then add cardamom powder and stir well. After a few seconds, turn off the flame, remove and keep the mixture aside. Now to prepare the dough, add rice flour in a bowl and add 1 cup of hot water in it. Add sesame oil and salt.
