For preparing Coconut Mawa Modak, roughly cut fresh peeled coconut and blend it in a mixer grinder without water to a dry, grainy stage. Heat some ghee in a pan and roast the ground coconut until the grains separate and it looks crumbly. |

Then add khoya and cook until it starts melting, then add sugar and cook until the whole mixture binds together. Cool it off on a plate. When the mixture has cooled down, add cardamom powder, chopped almonds, and pistachios, and shape it with a modak mold. |

For those who do not have a mold at home, you can first make small round balls of the mixture and roll them again while keeping the pressure on top to form a triangle. Press the bottom side onto a smooth surface—it closely resembles a modak. For engravings, you can use a toothpick, satay stick, or even a fork and press it sideways. Enjoy Bappa’s favorite modak with your friends and family! |
