For modak, add water and ghee to a pot and bring it to a boil. Parallelly, mix cocoa powder, rice flour, refined flour, and salt. Add the mixture of flour to the boiled water and blend it in one direction. Turn off the flame and cover with a lid for one minute. Get the mixture out in a bowl and knead it into a smooth dough, without any lumps.

. Add in mawa and knead it again, then cover it with a damp cloth and keep aside. Mix all the ingredients required for the filling together. Divide the dough into 8-10 equal portions and roll each into a smooth ball. Take one dough ball and press it into the cavity of the modak mould till it is evenly lined on all sides. Fill the dough cavity with a portion of the filling.

Take a smaller portion of the dough and spread it evenly at the base of the modak mould to seal the filling. Demould the modak from the mould. Heat water in a steamer and steam the modaks for 15-20 mins. Take the modaks out and serve hot.
