'Lord Ganesh loves Ukdiche Modak, a traditional dish of little steamed dumplings made of a translucent rice flour pastry stuffed with a sweetened coconut and jaggery mixture. More often than not while making these modaks, there\'s leftover Ukad (rice flour dough) which is then made into Nivagrya by adding jeera, chillies and dhaniya. Try this perfect sweet-savoury combo today! UKDICHE MODAK Ingredients: 1 cup scraped coconut ¾ cup chopped jiggery 2 cups Basmati rice flour 1½ tbsps + 1 tsp ghee + for greasing 2 tsps poppy seeds A small piece of nutmeg ¼ tsp green cardamom powder A pinch of salt Method: 1. To make the stuffing, heat ghee in a nonstick pan. Add poppy seeds and coconut, mix and cook for 2-3 minutes. 2. Add jiggery, mix and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes. 3. Grate nutmeg directly into the mixture. Add green cardamom powder and mix well. 4. Take the pan off the heat and allow the mixture to cool. 5. Add 2 cups water in a deep nonstick pan.

Place a piece of muslin cloth on a steel parat and transfer the rice mixture on it. Gather the edges of the muslin cloth and knead the mixture for 2-3 minutes. 8. Open the muslin cloth, transfer the dough into the parat, dip your palms in water and ghee alternately and knead to a smooth and shiny dough. Make sure it doesn’t stick to your hands. 9. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball. Wet the palms of your hands with water and spread each ball to form a 3-inch cavity in the centre. Press the edges to reduce the thickness and place a portion of the stuffing in it. Pleat the edges of the dough and gather them together to form a bundle. Pinch to seal the edges at the top. 10. Heat sufficient water in a steamer. 11. Dip the base of the modak in water and place in the steamer. Place some saffron strands on each modak and steam for 10-12 minutes. 12.
