Ganesh Chaturthi is one of the most famous festivals in most of the states of India. This festival is in-complete without offering special modak/ ladoo prasad to the lord. Modak is prepared in different styles and ingredients in different places. In this recipe, I made it in Rajasthani and Gujarati style with churma (crumbled roti/ flat bread).

Do try this recipe on the auspicious occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi at your home and recommend it to your friends and family, if you like it.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour + additional 1/3 cup for dusting

  • 1 cup sugar (or to taste)

  • ½ cup ghee (Add more to make it tastier)

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ½ cup dry fruits sliced (almonds, cashews, and raisins)

  • 1 tsp cardamom powder

  • Pistachios, saffron and rose petals – for garnish

  • Modak mold

Directions

  • Add flour, salt, 2 tbsp ghee to a round dish and water slowly. Knead to make a hard dough similar to that for poori.
  • Spread oil on top and let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Take the dough and divide it into 5 equal sized pieces.
  • Take one piece of dough and press it between your hands or use a rolling pin to make a flat disc about 4 inches diameter.
  • Apply ghee on top. Pick up the sides of the disc and pull them together at the top.
  • Roll into a flat bread with a diameter of around 6-7 inches. Use flour dusting, as necessary.
  • Take a flat pan and put on the gas at medium heat. Spread some ghee on the pan, put the rolled dough in the flat pan.
  • Roast it similar to a paratha. Roast on both sides with ghee till it is golden brown on both sides. Your paratha is ready. Roast all parathas.
  • Break all parathas into smaller pieces and add to the mixer jar, grind for about 2 minutes or till it crumbles.
  • Remove the mixture into a bowl, add 3 tbsp melted ghee and sugar. Mix with a spoon. Add dry fruits and cardamom, mix again.
  • Take modak mold, grease it with ghee shape paratha mixture in modak using the mold.
  • Ready and garnish with pistachios, rose Patel and saffron.
  • Offer as prasad to Ganpati Bappa and enjoy the prasad.
