This easy modak recipe requires 1 cup coconut powder, 1 cup milk powder, about 1 cup powdered sugar, a little cardamom, a few saffron strands, and milk as needed. You can also include mawa and chopped dry fruits like cashews, almonds, or pistachios to enhance the flavor and texture.
If you do not have a mold, take a small portion of the prepared mixture, flatten it slightly on your palm, and place the dry fruit stuffing in the center. Close it and give it a pointed, modak-like shape with your hands, then make light lines on top using a fork.
