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.
