    About Chocolate Modak

    Traditionally modak is made with rice flour and coconut jaggery or dal stuffing but this is a twist to your regular modak recipes. I have given 2 versions one is the chocolate modak as such and other one with the rice flour dough outer covering.Actually I liked the one with outer covering more and mittu obviously loved the chocolate modak more.

    I have used mould here but if you don’t have mould then you can check here for easy modak without mould check this post.Check out other Ganesh chaturthi recipes posted already.

    Prep Time10 minutes mins
    Cook Time10 minutes mins
    Total Time20 minutes mins
    Servings12 small modaks
    AuthorSharmilee J

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup khoya (unsweetened)
    • 3 tablespoon sugar
    • 1 tablespoon coco powder
    • 1/4 cup dark choco chips
    • 1 teaspoon ghee

    For the outer covering:

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

    Instructions

    • In a pan - add khoya and sugar.
    • Cook in low flame until khoya starts to melt and is gooey. Now add coco powder.
    • Add choco chips and mix well. The chocolate will start to melt.
    • The entire mixture will become gooey as in the pic, keep stirring and cook in low flame. Add ghee.
    • The mixture will thicken and start to leave the sides of the pan. Keep stirring.
    • At one stage it will be less sticky and come together as a mass. You can even check by rolling a ball, it will be very hot so be careful. Set aside to cool down.
    • After cooling down for 10-15mins the mixture will become thick.
    • Grease the mould well with ghee. Take a small lemon sized ball and fill the modak mould. You can either push it from the bottom hole or stuff both the sides like this.
    • Close press well, remove the extras and carefully open and demould. Repeat the same with the remaining mixture and make chocolate modaks.

    For making chocolate modak as stuffing:

    • Take flour in a mixing bowl - add salt to it. Mix well with a ladle. Boil water until it bubbles up, switch off then add it to rice flour.
    • Mix with a ladle, once it starts to come together, Set aside for few mins until it is warm enough to handle with hand. Now bring everything together to form a smooth dough without any cracks.
    • Grease your palms with oil first. Now take a lemon sized ball and flatten it in your palms, place stuffing bring the edges to the center and seal it to form modak shape. You can do using a mould too.
    • Steam cook for 7-10 mins or until the modaks are cooked, you can see a shiny outer layer. Enjoy Chocolate Modak!

    Notes

    • I made half and half of chocolate modaks and used the other half for stuffing.Actually I loved the stuffed one and mittu loved the chocolate modaks more.
    • This chocolate modak keeps well for 3-4 days if refrigerated.
    • Use good quality cooking chocolate and coco powder which is the main flavour for this chocolate modak.I have used choco chips here, you can even use bar cooking chocolate.

      Mam i tried these modaks but i think I have done something wrong. It has become too hard after I have made the shapes. Any suggestions how can i make it soft now.

        If khoya is overcooked it becomes hard. Add few drops hot milk, knead well and then start shaping it. If you feel hard after shaping you need to collapse it, add milk and then reshape. Hope this helps!
