    Boil 2-3cups of water in a large pan for steaming. Shape your modak like momos but it should be pointed at the top. (Make a small puri. Fill it with coconut mixture & make sharp thin edges around the filling. The bottom part of modal should be thick & upper one, thin. Join all the edges to shape the modak.)
