For the outer covering Rice flour | idiyappam flour 3/4 cup Salt as needed Sesame oil 2 tsp Water as needed For the stuffing Jackfruit 1/2 cup (chopped) Coconut 1/4 cup Jaggery 1/4 cup Ghee 1 tsp Cardamom powder a pinch (optional) Jackfruit modakam video Method:
In a pan add ghee and add in the chopped jackfruit, coconut and jaggery. Mix well and cook for 2 minutes. If you feel the mixture is oozing out water just add 1 tsp of rice flour to this and mix well. Jack fruit poornam is ready for modak.
Boil the water nicely. Add salt and 1 tsp of sesame oil to the water. Add the flour in a wide bowl and slowly add water little by little. Mix well with a spoon. When the mixture is warm add 1 tsp of oil and knead it into a smooth dough. Keep this covered all the times.
Take a lemon sized ball of the dough and shape it for the outer cover. Refer my video on how to shape the modak. Place 1 tsp of filling inside .
Bring the edges together to form a modak shape. If you want to shape modak using mould, check out my video on modak using mould.
Steam the modaks for 7 minutes in a medium flame. I used my bamboo steamer which i bought recently.
Jackfruit modakam is ready for neivedhyam.
I tried another version also which i saw in Venkatesh bhat show in vijay tv last year. Will post a green moong savoury poornam tomorrow. Just posting the pic collage of the same here below.
