Steps

1hour

1

Boil water and add salt.
2

Add the rava and stir continuously and switch off the gas stove.
3

Cover and keep aside
4

Now for making the filling, take 1tsp ghee in a pan and add coconut and jaggery to it.
5

Mix the mixture till the Jaggery melts and add cardamon powder.
6

Let the mixture cool down.
7

Now take the rava and knead it nicely to form a dough.
8

Make small lemon size balls. I made exactly 21 balls.
9

Now take one ball at a time and spread to form a flat circle shape with the help of your fingers.
10

Place 1tsp of the filling in the puri and start pinching the sides of the circle with your fingers.
11

Now with the help of your fingers bring the pinched edges together to close the modak.
12

You can steam by placing the modaks on a greased tray and steam for 5-7mins on high flame.
13

Alternatively you can also fry these modaks.
14

Both the versions taste equally great but I always prefer the steamed ones. But once in a while fried are also good.
Do try these rava modaks and enjoy.
Ganpati Bappa Moraya!

Tips:
1)Use very fine semolina in place of regular to get nice dough like consistency. But if you don't have the fine one, just pulse the regular semolina in your mixer 2-3times and it's ready.
2)I make cardamon powder at home by roasting 1/2cup cardamon pods and once they cool down a bit, grind them with 1/4cup sugar. You will get nice fine cardamon powder.

3) Always place a slice of used lemon or lime in the bottom of the steamer along with water. That helps in keeping the vessel clean.
