Ingredients

For dumpling:
All purpose flour, 1 cup
Canola oil, 2 tbspns
Salt, a pinch
Water, as required
For filling:
Ground almonds, 0.75 cup
Jaggery, 0.5 cup
Cardamom powder, 1 tspn
Directions
Method:
Heat 2 tbl spns of oil and add it to the flour. Mix it very well till the maida absorbs the oil entirely.
Add salt and water to make a very stiff dough. Keep the dough aside for around 1/2 an hour.
For the filling. Heat jaggery and ground almonds together till jaggery melts and forms a uniform mixture with almonds.
Remove from heat and add cardamom powder. Mix well.
Take small balls of the dough, roll it into small roundels (if the roundel becomes too thick, the modaks get a rubbery texture). Keep a round ball of stuffing on the puri and cover with the dough to give desired shape.
Place the modaks in a steamer, cover with lid and let cook for 15-20 minutes on medium flame.
