To make dry fruits modak recipe, dry fruits along with nuts are ground and molded in a mould to get a modakam shape. If you do not have a mould, you can try to shape them with fingers, but is hard to get the perfect look that a mould gives. I have kept the recipe simple using only minimum ingredients but you can also add more ingredients like cornflakes, oats, chocolate chips etc like i used to make these oats dry fruits ladoo.

How to make dry fruits modak

1. Chop the nuts and dry roast them until they turn lightly golden. You can skip chopping, if you have a powerful blender. I used walnuts, almonds and cashews. You can use what ever you have including peanuts or pistachios.

6. Grease the mould and take a generous portion of this mixture and stuff inside it. Press from beneath on all the sides to give a good shape. Open the mould and remove the modak gently. To shape them without a mould, divide the dough to 8 to 10 balls and roll them smooth. Shape them gently.

    Thanks for the sensible critique. Me and my neighbor were just preparing to do some research on this. We got a grab a book from our area library but I think I learned more from this post. I’m very glad to see such great info being shared freely out there.
