Ingredients
½
Tablespoon
Ghee
1
Cup
Unsweetened Mawa / Khoya
200 grams
¼
Cup
Sugar
2
Tablespoon
Cocoa Powder
¼
Teaspoon
Cardamom Powder
(optional)
⅛
Cup
Chopped Pistachios
Instructions
Heat ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan and add crumbled khoya or mawa.
Sauté on low-medium flame until soft and smooth.
Add sugar and keep stirring.
Continue stirring and cooking over a low-medium flame for about 5 minutes or until the mixture leaves the sides of the pan.
Turn off the flame and add cocoa powder, cardamom powder, chopped pistachios.
Mix everything until well combined. There should be no cocoa powder lumps.
Transfer it to a plate and let it cool down a bit.
Grease your hands with ghee and knead it into a smooth ball.
Grease a modak mould with a little bit of ghee to prevent modaks from sticking.
Take a small portion of the prepared chocolate mawa mixture and stuff it into the greased mould.
Close the mould and remove any excess mixture.
Press and push gently at the bottom.
Gently unmold the modaks and repeat the same process with the remaining mixture.
You can decorate the shaped modaks with edible silver foil or varq.
Serve and enjoy!
