Ukhdichi modak recipe

Modak are steamed dumplings with an outer rice flour dough and a coconut-jaggery stuffing. These sweet dumplings are also known as Ukadiche 

Modak is an Indian sweet dumpling dish popular in many Indian states and cultures. According to Hindu and Buddhist beliefs, it is considered one of the favourite dishes of Lord Ganesha and the Buddha and is therefore used in prayers.

The word ukadiche means ‘that which is steamed’ or ‘steamed’. The word ‘ukad’ also means steamed rice flour dough. So in simple English “Ukadiche Modak” means steamed modak.

Modak also helps to boost immunity as it contains jaggery, is rich in saturated fats, vitamins and minerals. * Ukadiche Modak can be a healthy food during pregnancy as it has good amount of iron, magnesium and healthy fats.

Once it cools and you are able to handle it  ,start kneading it .

We have to knead it well for 8 to 10 mins.

Also while kneading dip hands in the 1/4 cup hot water kept separately

And while kneading we have to add 2 – 3 tsp ghee or oil in between.

The texture of the dough will be same like chapati dough or maida dough or kids playing clay .

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and keep aside till you use.

NOTES

  1. Do not over cook the stuffing.
