HEALTHY RAGI MODAK

BY SHWETA GALINDE

FOR THE COVERING                                     

INGREDIENT

  • 1 cup Ragi  flour
  • 1  cup boiling water
  • Salt as per taste [ salt is important ]
  • 2 tsp ghee
  • 1/4 cup of hot water
  • 2 – 3 tsp extra ghee for kneading

METHOD

Sieve the ragi flour

 Boil the water with ghee and salt in a thick pan.

Once the water starts bubbling add the ragi flour and mix it well.

Immediately cover it and cook for 1 min on low flame.

Then switch off the gas and mix it well with a wooden spatula , cover it with a lid and keep aside for 10 mins.

***Here you can start making the stuffing  to save time.

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

We have to knead it well for 6 to 8 mins.

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

And while kneading we have to add 1 – 2 tsp ghee or oil in between.

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

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

FOR THE STUFFING

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup freshly grated coconut
  • 3/4 cup grated or powdered jaggery
  • ½ tsp cardamom powder
  • Pinch of nutmeg powder
  • 1 tbsp roasted poppy seeds /khus khus

 METHOD

Heat a pan with  coconut and jaggery  and mix well .

Stir and cook on medium flame for 4 – 5 mins .

The mixture will leave juice.

Cook till the juice evaporates .

Off the flame .

Add the cardamom + nutmeg powder and mix .

Finally mix in the roasted poppy seeds.

Mix well and keep aside to cool.

*** You can also add finely chopped dry fruits .

 METHOD FOR MAKING THE MODAK [ watch the below video ,only replace rice flour with ragi flour ]

*** Take little dry rice flour for dusting while shaping the modaks .

Take lemon size ball of the dough.

Sprinkle little dry flour on the top and press with your thumb and start rotating using your fingers as seen in the video to form a bowl.

Keep dusting your fingers with dry flour

Now start pleating as shown in video .

*** If you are trying for first time ,make the pleats at distance .

Place a small portion of stuffing in the centre . Now start gathering the pleats delicately using your thumb and little finger as shown in video  .

Don’t press ,do it gently .

Pinch on the tip and remove excess dough.

Repeat this procedure to make the remaining modaks.

Moisten all the modaks with little water using your finger tips.

Place the modaks  on a steel greased sieve . [rub oil all over the sieve ,so that the modaks don’t stick ]

Keep the steamer on high flame .

Keep sieve with modaks on the steamer and cover it .

Steam for  10 -12  minutes on medium flame .

Don’t over steam ,else the shape will spoil .

Once done remove and serve .
