Prep Time: 10 min | Cook Time: 8 min | Total Time: 18 min

Serves: 10 modaks

Ingredients:

4 cups chana/chhena

1 cup khejur gur/date palm jaggery

4-5 tbsp khejur jur/date palm jaggery syrup

Ghee for greasing

Note: I have melted the khejur gur with a little water to make this syrup.

Method:

Grind chhena and gur until you get a smooth paste.

Heat a non-stick pan on low heat.

Add the chhena mixture. Cook for 3-4 minutes (approx.), while stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens and leaves the sides of the pan.

Take it out in a bowl and allow it to cool down a little.

Take a modak mould. Grease it with ghee. Close it.

Fill it with a little sandesh mixture.

Spread and press it evenly, all around the inside of the mould.

Keep filling until just a little space is left in the middle.

Pour ½ to 1 tsp khejur gur syrup into it.

Adjust the quantity of the syrup depending on the mould size. Here I have used ¾ tsp syrup for each modak.

Avoid overfilling, as it will become difficult to seal it later on and the modak might leak.

Then take a small amount of sandesh mixture, place it at the bottom of the mould and seal it well.

Carefully open the mould and take the modak out. Place it on a plate.

Make the other modaks in the same manner.
