    Instructions

    • Dry roast the nuts until golden, cool down and transfer to a mixer jar. Grind it to a slightly coarse mixture.
    • Set aside. Now add dates to the mixer jar. Add little water.
    • Blend to form a paste consistency. Add dates paste and nuts mixture to a mixing bowl. Mix well, add ghee mix it and set aside. The mixture shouldn't stick much.
    • Add salt to rice flour, mix it. Boil water until it bubbles up 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.

    Notes

    • If you prepare the dough before hand, make sure to keep covered with a wet cloth to avoid drying up.
    • You can use either homemade rice flour / storebought.I used store bought rice flour, brand name is Nirapara.
    • If you don’t have a mould make just balls or If you don’t have a mould make just balls or modak shapes.You can even make semi circle shape like here.
    • For a more richer version you can add dessicated coconut and khoya each 2 tablespoon.
