Steps

20 minutes

1

👉Heat the milk for 3 minutes and add a pinch of saffron strands to it. Mix till the milk turn yellow because of saffron infusing its color. Keep it aside.
2

👉In a thick bottom pan, add the grated mawa, yellow food Colour and sugar to the pan.
3

👉Using a spatula, stir continuously until the mixture starts melting. This takes about 2-3 mins. It will get aromatic as the mawa melts and roasts.
4

👉At this point add the milk and saffron mixture and mix until well combined.
5

👉Keep stirring for another 5 mins or until the mixture thickens and leaves the pan, and comes together like a dough not sticking to the pan. It will also ooze some fat which shines on it. Now the mixture is ready. Let it cool.
6

👉While the mixture cools, grease the modak molds with ghee.
👉Divide the mixture into portions roughly.
7

👉Take one portion and roll it between your palms with gentle pressure to smoothen it out. It should turn smooth and shiny. Add this smooth ball to the mold.
8

👉Close the mold, and remove excess dough from the bottom and sides. Press the bottom open end of the mold to ensure the filling is well packed.
9

👉Carefully remove the modak out of the mold and place them on a clean plate. Repeat until done all the modaks are prepared. Allow them to sit for 10 mins.
