Prasadam---------Shekkhe Modakam( Sweet Rice Duplings)

First of all to all to all my friends Happy Ganesh Chaturti.MayVignaharta brings happiness to all of our lives.
As from last one week i am posting all the recipes related to Prasadam and today on this auspicious day i thought why not post this delicious, our ganapati Bappa's favourite Modakam.
There are two ways of preparing these modakam ,we at home do Shekke(steam) Modakam for Ganapati.Also in this auspicious day this year my parents are with me at our home.With my Mom's guidance i prepared many prasadam this time(say all together 11).So thought why not share the same with you all.

Servings: 15 counts

Ingredients:

  • for the outer covering:
  • 1cup rice flour
  • pinch of salt
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 tsp ghee
  • for filling:
  • 1/2 cup jaggary
  • 1/2 cup fresh grated coconut
  • 1 tsp cardamon powder
Method:
FOR OUTER COVERING:
Take a pan dry fry rice flour for 1-2 minutes so that raw smell goes.remove it and keep it aside.
Now in the same pan add 3/4 cup water,salt,ghee and when the water comes to boil add rice flour and stir them continuously till it becomes like a ball at the centre.
remove from pan and keep it aside.

FOR INNER FILLING:
Take a pan add jaggary and 1/4 cup water and stir them properly.
when the jaggary is mixed properly and the mixture start to boil add grated coconut and cardamon powder.
Stir them continuously till puran becomes thick and all water is evaporated.
Remove it and keep it aside.

Finally when both outer covering  and inner filling is cooled off a bit take ghee in your hand and make small balls of the rice flour dough.Take one ball press lightly with your fingers and make small puri shape.

Put 1/2-1 tsp of filling(according to your puri size) at the centre of rice puri and fold it to make semicircle shape(like half moon).also you can make like modakam shape like a potli(bag).

Similarly make all the modakam.
Steam them in idli stand or keep it in plate and steam it in cooker/steamer without whistle for 10-15 minutes.
Serve as prasadam to god Ganesha.

Goes well when ate with ghee on top.
Earlier my mom says they used grind raw rice and with that they used to do this modakam.
Also we prepare sweet shekke undalaka and Kara(chili) Modakam along with this.
For Sweet Undalaka we make small round balls of the rice dough and steam them dipping in the coconut-jaggary filling.
For Kara Modakam we fill the Modakam with Kaddle(gram dal) belle ogarsida usali(sundal).

Ganapati Bappa Moraya!
