Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 liter full-fat milk
  • 1 tsp saffron strands
  • 1/2 tsp Hari Elaichi powder
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • Deși Ghee
  • Chopped Pistachios, Dried Rose Petals & Silver Vark

Instructions
 

  • To make Mawa Modak, take a Pan on a medium flame, add 2 tablespoons of water, and 1 liter of full-fat milk. Let it come to a boil. Stir occasionally.
  • After the milk comes to a boil, stir constantly and scrape the Malai stuck to the sides. The milk will thicken and be reduced to half.
  • Once the milk reduces to one-half, add 1 tsp saffron strands and 1/2 tsp Harissa Elaichi powder. Stir.
  • Stir constantly and let the milk thicken further. Once it thickens to 1/4th of its consistency, add 3/4th cup of sugar to the mixture.
  • Mix well, and stir consistently till the mixture thickens and gets a granular texture.
  • As it starts leaving the sides, grease a plate with Desi Ghee and transfer the Mawa to the plate, spread and let it cool down.
  • Now, grease your hands with Desi Ghee. Create small Mawa balls by rolling the Mawa in your palms.
  • Take a Modak Mould, grease it with Desi ghee, and put the Mawa ball in it. Close the Mould to give it the shape of the Modak.
  • Make all the Mawa Modaks in the same manner and spread them on a serving plate.
  • Garnish with chopped Pistachios, dried rose petals, and silver vark.
  • Enjoy the delicious Kesar Mawa Modak.
