Ingredients

To make the prasad, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • Whole wheat flour (1 cup)
  • Nickmics dry fruits (1/2 cup, finely chopped; choose your favourites from their range of premium quality almonds, cashews, raisins, pistachios, and more)
  • Jaggery (1/2 cup, grated)
  • Ghee (2 tablespoons)
  • Cardamom powder (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Coconut flakes (1/4 cup)
  • Milk (1/4 cup)
  • Water (1/4 cup)

Preparation

  1. Combine whole wheat flour, grated jaggery, ghee, cardamom powder, and coconut flakes in a mixing bowl.
  2. Rub the mixture gently with your fingertips until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Add the finely chopped Nickmics dry fruits to the mixture, and mix well.
  4. Slowly add milk and water to the mixture and knead it into a smooth dough.
  5. Rest the dough for 10 minutes under a cover.

Cooking

  1. Once the dough has rested, divide it into small pieces and shape them into round balls (traditional dumpling shapes).
  2. Steam the modaks in a steamer or an idli maker for about 10-12 minutes until they are cooked and firm.
  3. Once cooked, remove the modaks from the steamer and let them cool slightly.

Serving

Now comes the fun part- serving the Prasad!

  1. Place the warm modaks on a beautiful plate or a banana leaf.
  2. Crush a few more Nickmics dry fruits and sprinkle them on the modaks for added flavour and nutrition.
  3. Serve the prasad with love and devotion to Lord Ganesha, and share it with your loved ones.

If you happen to have any leftover prasad, here are some tips for storing it and enjoying it later:

  • Let the modaks cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
  • Refrigerate the prasad and consume it within 2-3 days for the best taste and freshness.
  • To reheat, lightly steam the modaks for a few minutes or microwave them for a short burst of time until warm.
