    Carrot Moong Dal Modak is an easy stuffing made with moong dal or paasi paruppu and carrot.

    I wanted to try a easy stuffing and this is what came to my mind, I used cane sugar instead of jaggery this time as we don’t need to make syrup and strain it.Do try this easy  paasi paruppu mothagam recipe for this Ganesh Chaturthi!

    Ingredients

    For outer dough:

    • 1/2 cup homemade rice flour / idiyappam flour
    • salt to taste
    • water as needed

    For inner stuffing:

    • 1/4 cup moong dal
    • 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoon cane sugar
    • 1/4 cup water
    • 1/4 cup carrot
    • a pinch of cardamom powder

    Instructions

    • Dry roast moong dal until golden.
    • Pressure cook with 1 cup water for 3-4 whistles or until mushy.
    • Mash it well, set aside. Heat ghee in a kadai, add grated carrot saute until it shrinks.
    • Add mashed dal along with cane sugar, the mixture will turn gooey. Keep cooking in low medium flame.
    • Add cardamom powder .Keep cooking until thick.
    • Once it comes together as a mass switch off. Let it cool down.
    • Once it cools down make small balls and oval shaped ones too. Grease the mould with oil or ghee. Stuff a lemon sized ball inside the mould.
    • Make a hole in center and add the stuffing. I use the oval shaped stuffing for mould as it was easy to stuff. Seal the bottom part with dough as shown. I used the round balls for making hand shaped modaks.
    • Gently open and demould. Arrange the modaks in a plate.
    • Grease the steamer plate and arrange them on it. Steam cook for 8-10 mins or until the Modaks turn shiny. Serve Carrot Moong Dal hot!

    Notes

    • Making elongated stuffing makes it easier to stuff inside, do try and see.You can make regular handmade modakams too.
