Sabudana modak is an easy and interesting Kozhukattai recipe. Modak is Lord Ganesha's favourite mithai, which is why it is widely offered as a Bhog on Ganesh Chaturthi. It is originally made with rice flour or mawa. Here is how to make sabudana modaks:
½ cup Sabudana 1.5 to 2 tbsp Idiyappam flour or Kozhukattai flour ½ cup grated coconut ¼ cup Jaggery 2- cardamom 5- roasted cashew nuts 2 tsp ghee Salt as per need Water as needed
Wash and soak sabudana in enough water for 2 to 3 hours.
Drain the excess soaked water if any. Grind the sabudana coarsely.
Transfer to a bowl. Add rice flour and salt. Mix well to make non-sticky dough.
Cover till use. Kozhukattai dough is ready.
To make the stuffing, mix grated coconut, jaggery, sugar, cardamom, and roasted cashews with ghee. Mix well.
Take a golf ball-sized kozhukattai dough and press it to make a dent.
Fill the stuffing and close it. Give it a modak shape and arrange it in the idli maker.
Boil water in an idli pot and keep the idli plate. Steam the kozhukattai for 15 minutes till it becomes shiny and cooked well.
