Notes

  • Cook in low flame – I usually keep flame low while cooking khoya mixture. High flame may burn it fast at the bottom and make it hard.
  • Keep stirring – I stir well so that the mixture does not stick. Once it leaves the sides of the pan and comes together, switch off immediately.
  • Cooling – The mixture will be very hot. I let it cool before shaping otherwise it may burn hands.
  • Grease mould – I just apply ghee inside mould so modak comes out easily without sticking.
  • Knead dough – For stuffed version, the dough should be smooth and soft. If cracks appears, sprinkle little warm water and knead again.
