Process of making Rice Flour Milk Modak

Mix them and roast for 1-2 minutes.  Then add 2 tbsp of coconut powder and roast it for 1 minute.  Turn off the flame and stir the mixture in a hot pan and take it out in a bowl.  Put 1/2 litre of full cream milk in the same pan and thicken it on high flame till it reduces to half.

 

When the milk comes to a boil, put 15-20 saffron threads in it and cook it while stirring it occasionally.  When about half of the milk remains, add 3/4 cup of sugar and cook till the sugar dissolves completely.  After the sugar dissolves completely, reduce the flame to low and add roasted flour to it and mix it well.

 

Also, add 2 tbsp of chopped raisins and 6 coarsely ground cardamom and mix it well.  When the mixture mixes well, turn off the flame and take it out in a bowl and let it cool.  When it becomes cool to touch, grease the mould for making modak with ghee.

 

After closing the mould, lift a little mixture, bind it and put it in the mould and fill it by pressing it.  Then press the mould well and open it, take out the modak and keep it in a plate.  Similarly prepare all the modaks.  Rice flour milk modak will be ready.  Serve them and enjoy their taste.

Grind 250 grams of paneer in a mixer jar and take it out in a bowl.  Now add 1 cup of sugar powder and mix it well.  After mixing it, put it in the pan and roast it on low-medium flame while stirring continuously till it becomes thick.

 

When the paneer thickens, add 1/2 cup of coconut powder and 1/4 cup of cashew powder and roast it for 2-3 minutes, mixing it well.  Then put 1 tbsp of almond flakes in it and fry for 2 minutes.  Turn off the flame, add 4 coarsely ground cardamom, mix it well and take it out in a bowl and let it cool.

 

When the mixture cools down a little, close the mould for making modak and put the mixture in it by binding it.  Open the mould by pressing it well and keep the modak in a plate.  Similarly make the rest of the modaks as well.  Paneer Modak will be ready.  Serve them and enjoy their taste.
