Kesar Mawa Modak
Recipe
Ingredients
1 cup / 140 grams of milk powder
1/3 cup milk
few strands of saffron/kesar
2 tbsp milk to soak saffron
1 tsp ghee
1/3 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp chopped pistachios
½ tsp cardamom powder
edible silver leaf/chandi varak (optional)
Method
Soak saffron in 2 tbsp warm milk for 30 minutes.
Heat a pan.
Add ghee.
When the ghee starts melting, add milk and saffron milk. Mix well.
Add milk powder and keep stirring on low flame.
After about 10 to 12 minutes, the mixture will start leaving the sides of the pan.
Keep stirring until it forms a lump.
Transfer this to a mixing bowl.
Allow this to cool slightly.
Add powdered sugar and mix well.
Add chopped pistachios and mix.
At this stage, the mixture will become slightly sticky.
Keep this mixture aside for 10 mintues to cool completely.
After 10 minutes, the mixture will be no longer sticky and will hold shape.
Now, grease a modak mould using ghee.
Take a portion of the mawa mixture and press it into the modak mould and spread it evenly on all sides of the mould.
Close the mould tightly.
Demould the modak from the mould.
Repeat this for all the modaks.
Garnish the modaks with edible silver leaf and saffron.
Kesar Mawa Modak is ready to be served.
