Ingredients

For the stuffing:

  • 1/2 cup mixed nuts*
  • 3 tablespoon coconut
  • 2 and 1/2 tablespoon cane sugar

I used pistachios,cashews and badam. You can use any dry fruit and nut of your choice.

    Instructions

    • Take ragi flour in a pan and start roasting, roast for 5 mins in low flame. Add required salt and keep it ready.
    • Boil water till it starts boiling rigorously, now add it to little by little to the roasted flour.
    • Mix with a ladle then add more water and keep mixing till it gathers together like this. Make a soft dough.
    • Take mixed nuts in a mixer jar grind it coarse.
    • Now add cane sugar and coconut, pulse it few times. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl.
    • Add tutti frutti to it. Mix well. Shape them as balls. I made them slightly cylindrical.
    • Grease the modak mould with ghee or oil. Take your mould stuff a lemon sized ball into it. Make a hole in the center. Add the stuffing and press it.
    • Seal with little more dough.Gently open and take it out.
    • Arrange them in steamer plate greased with oil.Boil water in the steamer and place the plate inside. Steam cook 12-15 mins.
    • The kozhukattais will turn shiny and should not stick that is the right stage. Switch off and serve. Serve hot or warm!

    Notes

    • Adjust sweetness according to your preference but make sure the stuffing should a bit more sweet than usual.
    • You can dry grapes too.
