Dry Fruis Modak and Ladoo
Modak is Lord Ganesha's favourite sweet dish. Every year I used to prepare modak. In this process I have made boondi modak, sesame and peanut modak, carrot and paneer modak and mawa and coconut modak. This year I have cut my sugar intake. But I still wanted to eat sweet modaks. So made this protein and calcium loaded modak. It is very good for the diet watchers. They can eat this without any guilt. So lets see the ingredients and recipe of the dish.
Mix Dry fruits- 2 cups
Deseeded Dates- 1cup
Raisins- 1/2cup
Desiccated Coconut- 3tbsp
Sesame seeds- 2tbsp
Cardamom Powder- 1/2tsp
I have taken 2cups of dry fruits. I have taken cashew, almond, pistachio, walnut, watermelon seed, sunflower seed, pumpkin seed and roasted peanut. In this combination i have used less amount of cashew.
In a blender jar add dry fruits and make a coarse powder and bring out to a bowl
in the same jar add deseeded dates and blend up to smooth. Then add raisins and blend. Raisins should be coarse. Bring this out to the same bowl.
Add desiccated coconut to it.
In a pan add 2tbsp sesame seeds and dry roast it foe 3 mins. Add this to the same bowl and also add cardamom powder to it.
Now mix everything properly. Stuff this mixture in a modak mould and remove careful. It will shape like modak. Make some ladoo out of the mixture too..
It is a perfect ladoo with high protein. Very tasty too.. For those who are in diet can also eat this, A total guilt free dish
