• Step 2: Now water is boiling add rice flour in the boiling water and mix it well. Cover the pan and let it steam for 15 minutes. Meanwhile make the stuffing for Ukaduche Modak.
• Step 3: Heat the pan and pore 1 tsp ghee in it. After ghee is warm add coconut powder in the ghee and fry it well. Now add powdered jagrey in the fried coconut powder and mix it well. Let the jagrey liquified.
• Step 4: Add dry fruits once jagry liquified and jell with the coconut powder. Mix this all mixture well and let it fry for 2-3 minutes.
• Step 5: Now stuffing for Ukadiche Modak is ready. Take the steamed rice flour out of the pan and let it cool. Mix this flour and make soft dough out of it. Add 1 tsp ghee and warm water while kneading the dough.
• Step 6: Dough is ready. Apply ghee or oil in your palms. Now make small ball out of the dough, flatten it and start rolling to round disk by pressing your thumps center side of the ball. Small rolled roti is ready. Make a press on the edge and make potli, fill the sweet stuffing and close the potli by bringing all edge together and join them, remove extra portion of the small dough ball / potli from the top, if it is there. Shape the top of the modak with your fingers and give it the proper modak shape.
• Step 7: After making all the modak, cut the banana leaf in round shape which is fit with your steamer. Also add little amount of oil on banana leaf so modak will not stick to it.
• Step 8: Now place the modak in steamer plate. Take 1 tsp of milk ad saffron in it and pitch of pink or yellow food color. Pore drop of this milk on the top of the modak, it will give very good look to your Ukadiche Modak.
• Step 9: cover this steamer with a lot and stem the Modak for 15 to 20 minutes on low flame. Check after 15 minutes modak steamed or not by the toothpick or fingers. I usually check by my fingers. But if your doing first time don’t do this by using your fingers. Sometime possible that Modak may crack, so don’t worry, it is normal if your making Ukadiche modak first time.
• Step 10: Modak is steamed now. Your Ukadiche modak is ready to offer to Lord Ganesha. Take banana leaf and serve this modak to Bhagwan Ganesha with love and respect.
