On the occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi, different types of modaks are made in every house, because they are considered to be the most loved prasad of Ganpati Bappa. Usually people eat modak made of rice flour, but if you want to try something different and special this time, then sago modak is a great option for you.
It is not only wonderful in taste but is also beneficial in terms of health. Sago is light and works to maintain energy during fasting days. The sweet stuff of coconut and jaggery makes it more fun.
Sago Modak is a unique form of traditional dessert. While rice flour is used in normal modak, the outer layer is prepared from soaked sago. Sweet stuff of coconut and jaggery increases both taste and nutrition.
First of all wash the sago thoroughly and soak it for 4-5 hours or in water overnight. After this, remove the water completely and keep it aside.
Heat ghee in a pan, add coconut to it and fry it lightly. Then add jaggery and keep stirring until it meets well with coconut. Now add cardamom powder and dry fruits. When the mixture becomes slightly thick, turn off the gas and let it cool. When cooled, make small balls.
Take a small part of the dough by applying ghee on the palms. Make it flattened and shape the cup. Keep the stuffing of coconut-jaggery in the middle and gradually close the edges and give the shape of modak. If you want, you can also use modak cam.
Keep the prepared modak in a steamer and cook in steam for 5-7 minutes. After cooking, modaks will become mild hard and extremely tasty.
