Essential Ingredients for Quick and Simple Mawa Modak
Here’s what you’ll need for homemade modaks that taste like they’re straight from your grandmother’s kitchen! LET’S BE FRIENDS ON PINTEREST! WE’RE ALWAYS PINNING TASTY RECIPES Today I will share with you one of the easiest and my goto recipe to make Modaks, my Mawa Modak Recipe. The basic preparation involves cooking mawa milk powder with sugar, cardamom, milk and ghee to create a sweet, rich mixture. This mixture is then shaped into a dumpling and can be garnished with dried fruits or edible silver.
Mawa or Milk Mava Powder, easily available in any Indian grocery store. Ghee, scoop out some homemade or store-bought ghee for that nutty flavor and perfect dough consistency. Milk, adding milk to mava or khoya, helps achieve the right consistency to shape the dumpling while keeping the mixture moist and preventing it from drying and crumbling. Sugar, you can use normal powdered sugar or even monk fruit if you ae watching your sugar intake. I have tried this recipe with both and trust me you won;t be disappointed with either or. Flavorings, like cardamom and kesar add a lovely aroma, taste and color to the Modak and should not be skipped. Garnish, although typically Modak don’t need to be garnished, but if you want to go the extra mile, feel free to garnish it with some chopped nuts or edible silver flakes.
