Chocolate Modak from Roasted Chana

I tried making this Chocolate flavour Modak today with Roasted Chana.  This was my first experiment you can do variations in recipe as per your personal choice.

A chocolate lover will definitely love this Modak and can also get the goodness of the roasted Chana.



Ingredients:

  • 1.5 cup roasted Chana powder (How to make this is mentioned below)
  • 1 cup milk + 1 tablespoon of milk
  • ½ cup + 1 tablespoon of Drinking chocolate powder (The powder I used had sugar in it so I didn’t add any extra sugar. If you like your sweet a bit sweeter than do add 1 tablespoon of sugar) If you don’t have drinking chocolate then you can take 50:50 ratio of cocoa powder and sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoon of ghee
  • Garnish it with drinking chocolate powder and few silver balls 


Method:

  • Take around 1 cup of roasted Chana without cover Chana is needed. Grind it to fine powder. 
  • Now strain the Chana powder so you get very fine base for the Modak and also removes any big particles if any.
  • In a thick bottom pan add the Chana powder and add one cup milk. Now mix both well before you on the gas.  Start the gas and cook for 2-3 mins this mixture on a low flame.
  • You need not roast it more since the Chana is already roasted.  At this point add drinking chocolate powder and 1 more tablespoon of milk.  {As I mentioned above you can replace drinking chocolate powder with coco powder and sugar in equal ratio. Only check the sugar melts properly}
  • Cook this mixture on a low flame for few mins till it leaves the sides of the pan. Add 1 teaspoon of ghee.
  • Check if you can roll the mixture in your hands. It should not stick the hands.  Then it is ready.  If it is sticky then cook for few mins more
  • Pour the mixture in a plate, apply some ghee on hands and give it a Modak shape. You can also use Modak Mould
  • Garnish it with drinking chocolate powder and few silver balls
