Namaste,
I am Nisha Madhulika.
Today we'll make modak,
made of fool, makhana and dry fruits.
We haven't used mawa,
milk powder or condensed milk to make it.
You must make it on Ganesh Chaturthi.
And can also make anytime when you want to eat something sweet.
They are very tasty and energetic.
And they are falahari,
so you can make them for fasting too.
Let's start!
2 cups of fox nut,
40 grams in weight.
Dry roast them at medium flame.
It has been 5 minutes roasting them
and a good aroma is coming.
It's colour has also changed,
break and check them.
Look, they are breaking,
they are roasted.
Let them cool down.
And put 1 teaspoon of ghee in the pan.
You can roast them without ghee also
but if you add 1 teaspoon of ghee,
they roast quickly and tastes great too.
Put 2 tablespoons of finely chopped almond,
2 tablespoons of coarsely grounded cashews.
Roast them a little
it will enhance their taste
and make them crispy.
After roasting them for half minute a good aroma is coming.
Add 2 tablespoons of dessicated coconut.
Roast them a little by mixing them.
1 tablespoons of pistachio flakes.
You can take any dry fruits of your choice
and can take more or less too.
Turn off the flame.
Mix them well, stir them a little in the hot pan.
Dry fruits have been roasted.
In the same pan pour 1/2 litre of full cream milk.
Boil it at high flame.
Put the roasted fox nut in the jar.
Grind them and make a powder.
Makhana powder is ready.
It is a little coarse,
no need to make it too fine.
We took 2 cups of fox nuts,
now as they have grinded,
it is 1 cup of powdered fox nut.
Milk has come to a boil,
now stir it once in a while.
Cook it till it thickens,
flame will be medium and medium-high.
And keep removing the cream
stuck on the edges.
It has been 15 minutes boiling it,
milk has thickened.
But we need it to be thicker.
So keep stirring it
and remove the cream from the edges.
Look, milk has thickened alot.
It has been 18 minutes boiling the milk.
Now add sugar,
3/4 cups of sugar,
150 grams in weight.
You can add more or less sugar as you like.
Cook it till sugar dissolves completely.
Sugar has dissolved completely
and is not coming on spatula.
Add fox nut powder in it.
Mix it well, the flame is low.
And the roasted dry fruits.
Cook them by mixing them well.
Take 4 coarsely grounded cardamoms.
Freshly coarsed cardamoms smells and tastes great.
And look a good and thick dough is forming.
Turn off the flame.
Take it out in a bowl and cool it down.
The dough has cooled down.
Cool it so it can be touched by hands.
Take a modak molder.
Modak will be made quickly and perfectly.
Grease it with ghee.
Close it like this,
pick up some dough,
bind it like this
and give it a pointy shape like this.
Put it in
press and fill the mold.
Now open it.
Look, such a good modak is made.
Make all the modak the same way.
We don't need to grease it again and again.
Now just close it again,
take some dough,
bind it
and put it in.
Press it in like this.
Now open it.
Perfect modak are made.
We prepared all the modak.
We prepared 10 modak with this much dough.
Makhana modak are ready.
They were made very quickly and easily.
You won't face any problem in making them.
They are very tasty
and very healthy.
You can eat it by keeping it outside for 7 days
and in the fridge for 15-20 days.
You must make and have it
and share your experiences with me.
And let me know what should I make next for you.
