Ingredients

For outer dough:

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.
