2. Divide the Rice Flour dough into 10 parts and make lemon size ball from each part.
3. Take one Rice Flour Ball and flattened it using your hands to make a small flattened round disk.
4. Now put 1 Tbsp. of Stuffing on the middle of the flattened disk and take all the edges of the disk together to close the Modhak. Give it a shape of a temple as shown in the picture.
5. Using the same process make rest of the Modak.
6. If you are available with a Modak Mould then use that to prepare Modak to give those proper shape.
7. Heat a steamer with sufficient water in it.
8. I have used a big bowl and boiled around 1.5 litre water in it and then steamed Modak placing those on a Bowl with holes.
9. I finally placed the bowl in the top of the Bowl with boiling water and then covered with a lid.
10. Steam Modak for 10-12 minutes in medium flame. You can use pressure cooker to steam Modak as well.
11. I have served my Nolen Gur er Modak to our cute Gannu Dada on the occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi!
