Before you jump to Mango Modak recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about Easy Ways to Get Healthy.

You already understand that, to achieve true health, your diet needs to be sensible and wholesome and you need to get a good amount of exercise. The sad thing is that, at the end of the day, we don’t always have enough time or energy required for a healthy lifestyle. Going to the gym isn’t something people decide to do when they get off from work. A hot, grease laden burger is usually our food of choice and not a crunchy green salad (unless we are vegetarians). The good news is that making wise decisions doesn’t have to be irritating. With practice you can get all of the nutrients and the physical exercise that you need. Here are some simple ways to get healthy.

Make smart choices when grocery shopping. When you make good decisions at the grocery store, your meals will get much healthier immediately. Think about it: you aren’t going to want to cope with a chaotic store or a long drive through line at the end of the day. You’re going to go home and use what you have on hand. Your house should be stored with healthy foods and ingredients. This way, even when you determine that you want something greasy or not super nutritous, you will still be choosing items that are healthier for you than you would probably choose while running into a store or fast food restaurant.

There are a lot of things that work toward your getting healthy. Not all of them demand fancy gym memberships or restricted diets. Little things, when done every day, can do a lot to enable you to get healthy and lose pounds. Being intelligent about the choices you make each day is a start. Looking to get in as much physical activity as possible is another. Remember: being healthy and balanced isn’t just about losing weight. You need to help make your body as strong it can be.

We hope you got insight from reading it, now let’s go back to mango modak recipe. To make mango modak you only need 7 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you achieve it.

The ingredients needed to make Mango Modak:
  1. Get 200 gm alphonso mango pulp
  2. You need 50 gms mango chunks finely chooped(preferably sweet alphonso)
  3. Prepare 250 gm modak rice flour (different from normal rice flour)
  4. Take 100 gm jaggery
  5. Provide 50 gm sugar
  6. Prepare 1 tablespoon oil
  7. Use 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions to make Mango Modak:
  1. I prefer adding no other flavours except for mango, to have a perfect mango taste hence not using any other ingredients like cardamon or rose water etc. First, add the grated fresh coconut to a large wok/kadhai and roast it for about 3 minutes until a pinkinsh colour develops. Then add jaggery and sugar and keep mixing on medium flame until jaggery starts dissolving
  2. As the jaggery dissolves, add in only 150 gms (out of 200 gms) of mango pulp and mix well, let thw mixture get dry (not too dry though), remove from flame and let this mixture cool well
  3. Lets prepare the outer covering- for this first sieve the remainder mango pulp for any lumps. In a wok boil 1 cup of water, as the water comes to boil, add salt and oil, and then add the strained /sieved mango pulp to the water and mix well.
  4. Let it come to boil, lower the flame and add the modak rice flour and keep mixing, you will see not all the mixture is absorbing water and sone is left dry, thats the correct texture we need. Cover and let it cook on very low flame for jus 2 minutes, (not more than 2 minutes). Turn off the flame and let it come to room temperature. It has to be pretty warm when you start kneading the dough out of this, Knead until a soft dough comes out of it, you can add a tablespoon of water if required
  5. Meanwhile, the stuffing is nicely cooled, add the finely chopped sweet mango chunks. Take about a small to medium size ball of the dough and slightly flatten it, apply a 2-3 drops of oil on both sides and start making round katori shape just as we would make for momos. The thickness of this katori should be medium
  6. Add a spoonful of stuffing at the centre of katori and start pleating the sides in circle using fore finger and middle finger, once all pleats are ready… Start bringing them together with the help of your little finger and palm of same hand, close at the top and create a mountain shape
  7. Put the idli steamer with water on high flame, align all the modaks slightly apart from each other as they grow a bit in size post steaming. Cover with lid and let it steam for 15 minutes. You can test by touching the modak, if no dough sticks to your finger, it's done.
  8. Traditionnaly we maharashtrian serve modak with pure desi ghee… It tastes yummy when served warm… Not too hot.. Not too cold… The covering need to be warm to be metled instantly in your mouth. Garnish with a strand of kesar to give it a royal touch… And your seasonal fame mango modak are ready to be relished… 😉👍
